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 comet orbits the sun (figure). When it is at location 1 it is a distance d1from the sun. When the comet is at location 2, it is a distanced2from the sun, and has magnitude of momentump2. (a) when the comet is at location 1, what is the direction of L→A? (b) when the comet is at location 1, what is magnitude of L→A? (c) When the comet is at location 2, what is the direction of L→A? (d) when the comet is at location 2, what is the magnitude ofL→A ? Later we’ll see that the angular momentum principle tells us that the angular momentum at location 1 must be equal to the angular momentum at location 2.

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. L2=lI+1h2, 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(1.3x10-15m)A13 , where A is the total number of protons and neutrons. Compare this prediction with your result in part (b).

A stationary bicycle wheel of radius 0.9mis mounted in the vertical plane (figure). The axle is held up by supports that are not shown, and the wheel is free to rotate on the nearly frictionless axle. The wheel has mass all 4.8kgconcentrated in the rim (the spokes have negligible mass). A lump of clay with mass 0.5kgfalls and sticks to the outer edge of the wheel at the location shown. Just before the impact the clay has speed 5m/sand the wheel is rotating clockwise with angular speed0.33rad/s.

(a) Just before the impact, what is the angular momentum (magnitude and direction) of the combined system of wheel plus clay about the center C? (As usual, is to the right, is up, and is out of the screen, towards you) (b) Just after the impact, what is the angular momentum (magnitude and direction) of the combined system of wheel plus clay about the center C? (c) Just after the impact, what is the angular velocity (magnitude and direction) of the wheel? (d) Qualitatively, what happens to the linear momentum of the combined system? Why? (1) The downward linear momentum decreases because the axle exerts into angular momentum. (3) some of the linear momentum is changed into energy. (4) There is no change because linear momentum is always conserved.

The axis of gyroscope is tilted at an angle of 30∘to the vertical (figure 11.110). The rotor has a radius of 15cm , mass 3kg , moment of inertia is 0.06Kg/m2and spins on its axis at 30rad/s. It is supported in a cage (not shown) in such a way that without an added weigh it does not process. Then a mass of 0.2 kg is hung from the axis at a distance of 18 cm from the center of the rotor.

a. Viewed from above, does the gyroscope process in a (1) clockwise or a (2) counterclockwise direction? That is, does the top end of the axis move (1) out of the page or (2) into the page in the next instant? Explain your reasoning

b. How long does it take for the gyroscope to make one complete procession?
