How do we understand that three components of angular momentum not constant of motion? any short process??

The Lagrangian of a system moving in three dimensions is L=m m( si) + The independent constants of motion is/are (a) energy alone (b) only energy, one component of the linear momentum and one component of the angular momentumn (c) only energy, one component of the linear momentum (d) only energy, one component of the angular momentum

    when something is missing in Lagrangian like x or thitha then corresponding momentum is conserved and it's called cyclic coordinate

    you know there is no need to do calculation in this question, see here is no cyclic coordinate so no linear momentum is conserved, and lagrangian is independent of time so only ene...

    yes sir

    if T means time is not present in Lagrangian then it's symmetric in time . and symmetry in time leads to conservation of energy.
