What is the direction of the orbital (translational) angular momentum of the comet shown in the figure relative to the Sun?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Direction of angular momentum is in negative Z- direction.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Angular Momentum

Angular momentum is a measure of rotational motion.

Translational (or 鈥渙rbital鈥�) angular momentum describes motion such as the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. Rotational (or "spin") angular momentum describes motion such as the revolution of the Earth around its own axis.

Momentum Principle relates a change in momentum to the net force on a system, the Angular Momentum Principle relates a change in angular momentum to the net torque, or twist, applied to a system.

02

Direction of Comet relative to Sun

Applying the right-hand rule, the comet's translational angular momentum shown in fig.1 is in the negative z direction: inwards the page.

Fig.1

Therefore, the direction of angular momentum is in negative Z- direction.

In Figure 11.96a spherical non-spinning asteroid of mass\(M\)and radius\(R\)moving with speed\({v_1}\)to the right collides with a similar non-spinning asteroid moving with speed\({v_2}\)to the left, and they stick together. The impact parameter is\(d\).Note that\({I_{sphere}} = \frac{2}{5}M{R^2}.\)

After the collision, what is the velocity \({v_{CM}}\) of the center of mass and the angular velocity \(\omega \) about the center of mass? (Note that each asteroid rotates about its own center with this same \(\omega \)).

If you did not already do problem P63 do it now. Also calculate numerically the angle through which the apparatus turns, in radians and degrees.

A barbell spins around a pivot at A its center at (Figure). The barbell consists of two small balls, each with mass m=0.4kgat the ends of a very low mass road of length d=0.6m. The barbell spins clockwise with angular speed蝇0=20 radians/s. (a) Consider the two balls separately, and calculateL鈫�trans,1,A and L鈫�trans,2,A(both direction and magnitude in each case). (b) Calculate L鈫�tot,A=L鈫�trans,I,A+L鈫�trans,2,A(both direction and magnitude). (c) Next, consider the two balls together and calculate for the barbell. (d) What is the direction of the angular velocity 蝇鈫�0? (e) Calculate L鈫�rot=I蝇鈫�0 (both direction and magnitude). (f) How does L鈫�rotcompare to L鈫�rot,A? The point is the form I蝇 is just a convenient way of calculating the (rotational) angular momentum of multiparticle system. In principle one can always calculate the angular momentum simply by adding up the individual angular momentum of all the particles. (g) calculate Krot.
