A body of fast-moving water passing along a narrow channel is often referred to as a "rapids" or "stream." This phenomenon occurs when water flows swiftly through a constricted area, creating turbulence and often leading to whitewater conditions. The speed and volume of water can vary based on factors like gradient, channel shape, and surrounding terrain. Such environments are common in rivers and can be important for ecosystems, recreation, and hydropower.

Does a particle moving along a line that passes through the origin has zero angular momentum about that origin?

No, the particle's angular momentum depends on both its linear momentum and its distance from the origin. If the particle is moving along a line passing through the origin, its angular momentum will not necessarily be zero unless its linear momentum is also zero.

What do groynes look like?

A groyne is a type of breakwater or jetty, which projects from the shore of a coast or river to block the movement of sediment. In rivers, they are called "wing dams" or spur dykes, and channel water into a faster-moving channel, usually in the center of the river. Groynes are used along beaches to prevent the removal of sand, or conversely to prevent the deposition of sandbars along shore.
