Chapter 11: Q4Q (page 458)

Give examples of translational angular momentum and rotational angular momentum in our Solar System.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The example of translational angular momentum and rotational angular momentum is rotation of earth around the sun.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Angular momentum and rotational angular momentum

The rotating inertia of an object or system of objects in motion about an axis that may or may not pass through the object or system is described by angular momentum.

The rotating analog of linear momentum is angular momentum (also known as moment of momentum or rotational momentum). A closed system's total angular momentum remains constant.

02

The diagram shows the rotation of earth around the sun

Draw the diagram which shows the rotation of Earth around the Sun.

03

Explain the diagram

The angular momentum of the earth due to rotation on its own axis is an example of rotational angular momentum in our solar system (relative to the centre of mass of the earth).

As a result, the angular momentum of the earth in relation to the location of the Sun serves as an example of translational angular momentum.

What features of the Bohr model of hydrogen are consistent with the later, full quantum mechanical analysis? What features of the Bohr model had to be abandoned?

In Figure11.89depicts a device that can rotate freely with little friction with the axle. The radius is0.4m,and each of the eight balls has a mass of0.3kg.The device is initially not rotating. A piece of clay falls and sticks to one of the balls as shown in the figure. The mass of the clay is0.066kgand its speed just before the collision is10m/s.

(a) Which of the following statements are true, for angular momentum relative to the axle of the wheel? (1) Just before the collision, r鈯�=0.42/2=0.4cos(45掳)(for the clay). (2) The angular momentum of the wheel is the same before and after the collision. (3) Just before the collision, the angular momentum of the wheel is0. (4) The angular momentum of the wheel is the sum of the angular momentum of the wheel + clay after the collision is equal to the initial angular momentum of the clay. (6) The angular momentum of the falling clay is zero because the clay is moving in a straight line. (b) Just after the collision, what is the speed of one of the balls?

What is the angular momentum \({\overrightarrow L _A}\)If \({\overrightarrow r _A} = (9, - 9,0)\)m and \(\overrightarrow p = (12,10,0)\)\(kg.m/s?\)

Make a sketch showing a situation in which the torque due to a single force about some location is \(20\,\,{\rm{N}} \cdot {\rm{m}}\) in the positive \(z\) direction, whereas about another location the torque is \(10\,\,{\rm{N}} \cdot {\rm{m}}\) in the negative \(z\) direction.

A certain comet of mass mat its closest approach to the Sun is observed to be at a distancer1 from the center of the Sun, moving with speed v1 (Figure 11.92). At a later time the comet is observed to be at a distance from the center of the Sun, and the angle between r2鈫� and the velocity vector is measured to be 胃. What is v2?Explain briefly.
