When L = 0, it means that the angular momentum of the system is equal to zero. This can occur in situations where there is no rotation or angular motion present.
When L = 0, the effective potential energy simplifies to just the radial potential energy term. This means that the potential energy is only dependent on the distance between the two interacting objects and not on their angular motion.
No, L = 0 is always a positive value. This is because angular momentum is defined as the cross product of an object's linear momentum and its position vector, and both of these quantities are always positive.
If L = 0 is not satisfied, then the effective potential energy will not accurately describe the motion of the system. This is because the equation assumes that there is no angular motion present, so any non-zero value for L will result in incorrect predictions.
When L = 0, it means that there is no change in the angular momentum of the system. This is consistent with the principle of conservation of angular momentum, which states that the total angular momentum of a system remains constant unless acted upon by an external torque.
