A uniform sphere has a moment of inertia that is (2/5)MR2. A sphere of uniform density, with mass 29 kg and radius 0.5 m is located at the origin, and rotates around an axis parallel with the x axis. If you stand somewhere on the x axis and look toward the origin at the sphere, the sphere spins counterclockwise. One complete revolution takes 0.5 seconds. What is the rotational angular momentum of the sphere

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]36.44\ \text{kg m/s}\hat{i}[/tex]

Explanation:

I = Moment of inertia of sphere = [tex]\dfrac{2}{5}MR^2[/tex]

M = Mass of sphere = 29 kg

R = Radius of sphere = 0.5 m

T = Time taken for one revolution = 0.5 s

[tex]\omega[/tex] = Angular velocity = [tex]\dfrac{2\pi}{T}[/tex]

[tex]L=I\omega\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{2}{5}MR^2\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{4MR^2\pi}{5T}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{4\times 29\times 0.5^2\pi}{5\times 0.5}\\\Rightarrow L=36.44\ \text{kg m/s}[/tex]

The rotational angular momentum of the sphere is [tex]36.44\ \text{kg m/s}\hat{i}[/tex].
