Angular Momentum of a Particle Two identical spheres with m=3 kg each are rigidly attached to the rotating light rigid structure. The velocity of the spheres is v=2 m/s. Determine the angular momentum about the axis of rotation.
The ABC lift is at rest. You want to estimate the momentum that ABC exerts in C if the weight of A is 105 kg. AB is 12.15 m and weighs 400 kg, BC is 2.7 m and weighs 150 kg. Approximate AB and BC as evenly thick everywhere and homogeneous. Point A is 13.5 m above C in height and B is 2,025 m above C in height. A) What is the moment of force that ABC exerts in C if positive value is counterclockwise in the image? B) If AB instead weighs 150 kg and BC weighs 400 kg, but all other quantities are the same, calculate the torque in C.What is the moment of force that ABC exerts in C with these masses, if positive value is counterclockwise in the picture?
You wish to put a 1000-kg satellite into a circular orbit 300 km above the earth’s surface. (a) What speed, period, and radial acceleration will it have? (b) How much work must be done to the satellite to put it in orbit? (c) How much additional work would have to be done to make the satellite escape the earth? In part (b) if we ignored the satellite’s initial kinetic energy due to the rotation of the earth. How much difference does this make? Suppose your personal spacecraft is in a low-altitude circular orbit around the earth. Air resistance from the outer regions of the atmosphere does negative work on the spacecraft, causing the orbital radius to decrease slightly. Does the speed of the spacecraft (i) remain the same, (ii) increase, or (iii)
An empty freight car with a mass of 10,000 kg rolls at 5 m/s along a level track and collides with a loaded car with a mass of 20,000 kg, standing at rest with brakes released.
