Get started for freeYou sit on a rotating stool and hold barbells in both hands with your arms fully extended horizontally. You make one complete turn in .You then pull the barbells in close to your body. (a) Estimate how long it now takes you to make one complete turn. Be clear and explicit about the principles you apply and about your assumptions and approximations. (b) About how much energy did you expand?
What is the angular momentum \({\overrightarrow L _A}\)If \({\overrightarrow r _A} = (9, - 9,0)\)m and \(\overrightarrow p = (12,10,0)\)\(kg.m/s?\)
The nucleus dysprosium-160 (containing 160 nucleons) acts like a spinning object with quantized Angular momentum. , and for this nucleus it turns out thatmust be an even integer . When a Dy-160 nucleus drops from the l = 2 state to the l = 0 state, it emits an 87 KeV photon . (a) what is the moment of inertia of the Dy-160 nucleus? (b) Given your result from part (a), find the approximate radius of the Dy-160 nucleus, assuming it is spherical. (In fact, these and similar experimental observation have shown that some nuclei are not quite spherical.) (c) The radius of a (spherical) nucleus is given approximately by , where A is the total number of protons and neutrons. Compare this prediction with your result in part (b).
Under what circumstances is angular momentum constant? Give an example of a situation in which the x component of angular momentum is constant, but the y component isn’t.
