- Concerning the life of an individual comet, say, from the Kuiper Belt or Oort Cloud. These objects spend most of their "life" in the outskirts of our Solar System, and then they will "swoop" in toward the Sun when completing a full single orbit. Can you use the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum to explain the speed that the comet has when it's farthest from the Sun to when it is closest? (so you have 2 variables: speed and distance)arrow_forwardAfter all the metal has unwound from the roller, the student measures the radius R and the angular speed wo of the roller to be 25 cm and 20 rad/s respectively. Observed from the side, the roller rotates counterclockwise, as shown. A piece of clay of mass m strikes the very bottom edge of the roller with a horizontal velocity v = 4.0 m/s. The clay sticks to and rotates with the roller. The clay-roller system then rotates with a final angular velocity wi. (f) Is wi greater than, less than, or equal to wo?

The rod is rotating with a constant angular velocityd slot at any instant. Which one of the following is (are ) incorrect answers ? =2 rad/s. Assume the ball contacts only one side of the ion e-2 rads Select one or more: There is only one contact force on the ball that is acting perpendicular to the rod. There are two contact forces on the ball: one is acting perpendicular to the wall, and the other is perpendicular to the rod. The path of the ball is given by r 0.5 sec 0.
