Chapter 11: Q75P (page 467)

According to the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, what is the magnitude of the translational angular momentum of the electron (relative to the location of the proton) when the atom is in the 2nd excited state above the ground state(N=3)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the translational angular momentum of the electron is 3.162×10-34J·s.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of angular momentum

The angular momentum is defined as the multiplication of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity of a body.

02

Find the magnitude of the translational angular momentum of the electron.

The possible state of the hydrogen atom whose translation angular momentum is an integer multiple ofh .

L→trans,C=Nh······1

Hereh→ Planck’s constant1.054×10-34J·s.

For the second excited state of the atom,N=3

On substituting all numerical values in equation(1), the magnitude of the translational angular momentum of the electron as

L→trans,C=Nh=31.054×10-34J·s=3.162×10-34J·s

Hence, the magnitude of the translational angular momentum of the electron is 3.162×10-34J·s.

A barbell is mounted on a nearly frictionless axle through its center (Figure 11.105). At this instant, there are two forces of equal magnitude applied to the system as shown, with the directions indicated, and at this instant, the angular velocity is 60 Rad/s, counterclockwise. In the next 0.001s,the angular momentum relative to the center increases by an amount 2.5 kg.meter square per second. What is the magnitude of each force? What is the net force?

Because the Earth is nearly perfectly spherical, gravitational forces act on it effectively through its center. Explain why the Earth’s axis points at the North star all year long. Also explain why the earth’s rotation speed stays the same throughout the year (one rotation per 24h). In your analysis, does it matter that the Earth is going around the sun?

In actual fact, the Earth is not perfectly spherical. It bulges out a bit at the equator, and tides tend to pile up water at one side of the ocean. As a result, there are small torque exerted on the Earth by other bodies, mainly the sun and the moon. Over many thousands of years there are changes in what portion of sky the Earth’s axis points towards (Change of direction of rotational angular momentum), and changes in the length of a day (change of magnitude of rotational angular momentum).

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.

Two gyroscopes are made exactly alike except that the spinning disk in one is made of low-density aluminum, whereas the disk in the other is made of high-density lead. If they have the same spin angular speeds and the same torque is applied to both, which gyroscope processes faster?

A stationary bicycle wheel of radiusis mounted in the vertical plane on a horizontal low-friction axle (Figur The 11.43).Thewheel has mass,M all concentrated in the rim (the spokes have negligible mass). A lump of clay with mass m falls and sticks to the outer edge of the wheel at the location shown. Just before the impact the clay has a speed v(a) Just before the impact, what is the angular momentum of the combined system of wheel plus clay about the center C (b) Just after the impact, what is the angular momentum of the combined system of wheel plus clay about the centerCin terms of the angular speed of the wheel?
