Angular Momentum

The momentum of an object is given by multiplying its mass and velocity. Momentum is a property of any object that moves with mass. The only difference between angular momentum and linear momentum is that angular momentum deals with moving or spinning ob…

Moment of a Force

The idea of moments is an important concept in physics. It arises from the fact that distance often plays an important part in the interaction of, or in determining the impact of forces on bodies. Moments are often described by their order [first, second…

Textbook Question

Chapter 11, Problem 14P

Two planets X and Y travel counterclockwise in circular orbits about a star as shown in Figure P11.14. The radii of their orbits are in the ratio 3:1. At one moment, they are aligned as shown in Figure P11.14a, making a straight line with the star. During the next five years, the angular displacement of planet X is 90.0° as shown in Figure P11.14b. What is the angular displacement of planet Y at this moment?

Chapter 11, Problem 14P, Two planets X and Y travel counterclockwise in circular orbits about a star as shown in Figure

Definition Definition Angle at which a point rotates around a specific axis or center in a given direction. Angular displacement is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction. The angle built by an object from its rest point to endpoint created by rotational motion is known as angular displacement. Angular displacement is denoted by θ, and the S.I. unit of angular displacement is radian or rad.
