The potential energy of a particle of mass m at a distance r from a fixed point O is given byV(r) = kr^2/2 where k is a positive constant of appropriate dimensions. This particle ismoving in a circular orbit of radius R about the point O. If v is the speed of the particle andL is the magnitude of its angular momentum about O, which of the following statements is(are) true?
