- (a) What is the angular momentum of the Moon in its orbit around Earth? (b) How does this angular momentum compare with the angular momentum of the Moon on its axis? Remember that the Moon keeps one side toward Earth at all times. (c) Discuss whether the values found in parts (a) and (b) seem consistent with the fact that tidal effects with Earth have caused the Moon to rotate with one side always facing Earth.arrow_forward(a) Calculate the angular momentum of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun. (b) Compare this angular momentum with the angular momentum of Earth on its axis.arrow_forwardAxle 600 rpm FIGURE P8.37 37.

- When kicking a football, the kicker rotates his leg about the hip joint. A. If the velocity of the tip of the kicker's shoe is 26.0 m/s and the hip joint is 1.2 m from the tip of the shoe, what is the shoe tip's angular velocity (in rad/s)? B. The shoe is in contact with the initially stationary 0.500 kg football for 23.0 ms. What average force (in N) is exerted on the football to give it a velocity of 30.0 m/s? C. Find the maximum range (in m) of the football, neglecting air resistance.arrow_forwardThe angular velocity vs. time for a car radiator fan is shown below.

- If the steel disk has a mass of 200 kg, a radius of 2 meters, and a smooth low-friction bearing at its center you can make it spin by applying a force to the rim. This torque increases the angular momentum of the disk. Suppose the force is 100 newtons. a. What mass could you pick up with a force of 100 newtons? That will give you a sense of how much force this really is. b. How long would you have to apply this force it to get the wheel spinning 2 times a minute? c. What would happen to the rate of spin if you then jumped on the rim of the wheel with your mass of 75 kg?arrow_forwardA fast spinning gyroscope spinning in space has a force F applied to it perpendicular to is axis of rotation at a distance r from its center of mass for a time t. a. Find an expression for how much has the orientation of the gyroscope changed in this time. b. If the angular momentum of the gyroscope about its axis of rotation is given by L=0.020 kg m' s, the force F = 0.40 N, and r = 5.0 cm, what is the angular displacement of the angular momentum vector if this torque is applied for 10 seconds? -1 %3D %3D %3D pagearrow_forwardA barbell consists of a 0.50 kg ball and 2.00 kg ball connected at their centers by a masslessthreaded rod of length 0.50 m. a.
