Short Answer

Expert verified

The angular momentum \(\left( {\overrightarrow L } \right)\)\( = \left\langle {0,0,198} \right\rangle J \cdot s\)

Step by step solution

01

Definition of 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..

02

The angular momentum \(\left( {\overrightarrow L } \right)\)is-

Given data

The radius vector \({\overrightarrow r _A} = \left\langle {9, - 9,0} \right\rangle m\)

The momentum vector is \(\overrightarrow p = \left\langle {12,10,0} \right\rangle kg \cdot m/s\)

The angle momentum \(\left( {\overrightarrow L } \right)\)is the cross product of radius vector \(\left( {{{\overrightarrow r }_A}} \right)\)and momentum vector \(\left( {\overrightarrow p } \right)\).That is,

\(\left( {\overrightarrow L } \right)\)\( = {\overrightarrow r _A} \times \overrightarrow p \)

\( = \left( {\left\langle {9, - 9,0} \right\rangle m} \right) \times \left( {\left\langle {12,10,0} \right\rangle kg \cdot m/s} \right)\)

\( = \left\langle { - 9 \cdot 0 - 010,0 \cdot 12 - 9 \cdot 0,9 \cdot 10 - \left( { - 9} \right) \cdot 12} \right\rangle \)

\( = \left\langle { - 0 - 0,0 - 0,90 + 108} \right\rangle \)

\( = \left\langle {0,0,198} \right\rangle J \cdot s\)

Hence, the angular momentum\(\left( {\overrightarrow L } \right)\)\( = \left\langle {0,0,198} \right\rangle J \cdot s\).

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 \(\omega \)).

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.

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?

To complete this reflection, determine the relationship between ωand Ωfor the case of pure precession, but with the spin axis at an arbitrary angle θto the vertical (figure) θ=90°is the case of horizontal precession we treated). If you have the opportunity, see whether this relationship holds for a real gyroscope.

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=0.42/2=0.4cos(45°)(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?
