1. A satellite is spinning at 6 rev/s. The satellite consists of a main body in the shape of a sphere of radius 2 m and a mass of 800 kg, and two antennas projecting out from the surface of the main body that can be approximated with rods of length 4 m each and mass 10 kg. The antennas lie in the plane of rotation. See the figure below. M L Ms R MrL Things to think about: 1. The system is made of one sphere and two rods attached to the surface of the sphere. The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of individual moments of inertia. 2. The axis of rotation for the system is about the center of the sphere. How can you calculate

The Sun’s mass is 2.01030kg , its radius is 7.0105km , and it has a rotational period of approximately 28 days. If the Sun should collapse into a white dwarf of radius 3.5103km , what would its period be if no mass were ejected and a sphere of uniform density can model the Sun both before and after?
What is the angular displacement of a satellite in a circular orbit after it completes 1/4 of its orbit?
A star rotates in a circular orbit about the center of its galaxy. The radius of the orbit is 2.9 x 10^20 m, and the angular speed of the star is 9.7 x 10^-15 rad/s. How long (in years) does it take for the star to make one revolution around the center? Note: the tolerance is in the 2nd significanct digit and indicate the unit
If the rotational curve (orbital speed versus distance from center) of a spherically symmetric object is flat, what is implied about the mass density? A. It remains constant at all distance from center. B. It increases with distance from center. C. It decreases with distance from center. D. It remains zero far from the center because the distribution is essentially a point mass. Is the answer B? Orbital velocity is still the same as the distance from the centre increases. By Mr = v2r/G, Mass increases with increasing radius when velocity is kept constant. So, galaxies with flat rotational curves indicate they contain large amounts of dark matter, especially further out from the centre. Thank you for clarifying my understanding!
What is the magnitude of angular momentum of JUST the partical circled to the system's mass center?
Using partial derivatives, calculate the propagated uncertainty in the mass in the following case: given the centripetal force Fc = (20.0 ± 0.5) N, the angular velocity w = (29.2 ± 0.3) rad/s, and the radius R = (0.12 ± 0.01) m get the mass value,m = Fc / (w2R). Express the result in the form m = m + Δm ----------------------------------- THAT'S THE QUESTION ASKED, see the image for the answer. Also have a look at the second image, the blue one. --------------------------------------------------------------- Explain what is the 1/m just after the equals sign at the second line of the answer. Also, explain why the answer does not use the square root just like the blue image, of if it is using it. Then, say in which case should I use the partial derivate to calculate the uncertainty.
What is the angular momentum of a .4kg hula-hoop with a diameter of 1.2m while it rotates at 7 r/s?
A 1500-kg satellite orbits a planet in a circular orbit of radius 6.2 × 106 m. What is the angular momentum, in kg m2/s, of the satellite in its orbit around the planet if the satellite completes one orbit every 1.5 × 104 s?
At 714 A.M. on June 30, 1908, a huge explosion occurred above remote central Siberia, at latitude 61 N and longitude 102 E; the fireball thus created was the brightest flash seen by anyone before nuclear weapons. The Tunguska Event, which according to one chance witness “covered an enormous part of the sky,” was probably the explosion of a stony asteroid about 140 m wide. (a) Considering only Earth’s rotation, determine how much later the asteroid would have had to arrive to put the explosion above Helsinki at longitude 25 E. This would have obliterated the city. (b) If the asteroid had, instead, been a metallic asteroid, it could have reached Earth’s surface. How much later would such an asteroid have had to arrive to put the impact in the Atlantic Ocean at longitude 20 W? (The resulting tsunamis would have wiped out coastal civilization on both sides of the Atlantic.)
