Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a rotating object has a moment of inertia of 5 kg·m² and is spinning with an angular velocity of 3 rad/s, what is its angular momentum?
  • Step 1: Identify the moment of inertia (I) of the object, which is given as 5 kg·m².
  • Step 2: Identify the angular velocity (ω) of the object, which is given as 3 rad/s.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for angular momentum (L), which is L = I * ω.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: L = 5 kg·m² * 3 rad/s.
  • Step 5: Calculate the result: L = 15 kg·m²/s.
  • Moment of Inertia – A measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotation, dependent on mass distribution relative to the axis of rotation.
  • Angular Velocity – The rate of rotation of an object, measured in radians per second.
  • Angular Momentum – A quantity that represents the rotational motion of an object, calculated as the product of moment of inertia and angular velocity.
