The oxygen molecule has a mass of 5.30 × 10' -26 kg and a moment of inertia of 1.94 × 10-46 kg m? about an axis through its centre perpendicular to the lines joining the two atoms. Suppose the mean speed of such a molecule in a gas is 500 m/s and that its kinetic energy of rotation is two-thirds of its kinetic energy of translation. Find the average angular velocity of the molecule.
The l = 2 rotational level of the hydrogen chloride (HCl) molecule has energy 7.90 meV. The mass of the most common hydrogen atom is 1.674 * 10-27 kg, and the mass of the most common chlorine atom is 5.807 * 10-26 kg. Find the moment of inertia of the HCl molecule.
let's consider the three atoms composing the molecule have different masses and coordinate, while the axis of rotation is still y-axis. The first atom has a mass of 8.61 kg, with x coordinate at 3.063 m and y coordinate at 3.826 m. The second atom has a mass of 63.048 kg, with x coordinate at 87.738 m and y coordinate at 51.326 m. The third atom has a mass of 26.317 kg, with x coordinate at 42.334 m and y coordinate at 23.115 m. What is the moment of inertia in the unit of kg m2 with respect to the y axis?
