Topic: Angular Momentum
I have no clue how to figure these out. Please help me.
1)What is the angular momentum for a 2kg ball being swung in a circle of radius 3m at a speed of 4 m/s?
2)A 3 kg object is moving in a circle with a speed of 5 m/s. If the angular momentum of the object is 30 kgm2/s, what is the radius of the circle?
3)A solid disk is rotating at an angular speed of 3 rad/s. If the mass of the disk is 10 kg and a radius of 2m, what is the angular momentum of the disk?
4)A thin ring of mass 3kg and radius 1 m has a momentum of 90 kgm2/s. What is the angular velocity of the ring?

1. The angular momentum of the ball is
24kg.m2/s
2. The radius of the circle is 2 m
3. The angular momentum of the disk is
60kg.m2/s
4. The angular velocity of the ring is 30 rad/s
Step-by-step explanation
1. The mass of ball (M)=2kg
The radius of a circle (R)=3m
The speed (v)=4m/s
The angular momentum of the ball (L) is
L=MvR
L=(2)(4)(3)
L=24kg.m2/s
2. The mass of object (M)=3kg
The speed (v)=5m/s
The angular momentum of the object (L)=30kg.m2/s
The radius of the circle (R) is
L=MvR
R=MvL?
R=(3)(5)30?
R=2m
3. The angular speed (ω)=3rad/s
The mass of disk (M)=10kg
The radius (R)=2m
The moment inertia of disk (I)=½MR2
The angular momentum of the disk (L) is
L=Iω
L=½MR2ω
L=½(10)(2)2(3)
L=60kg.m2/s
4. The mass of ring (M)=3kg
The radius (R)=1m
The angular momentum (p)=90kg.m2/s
The inertia moment of thin ring (I)=MR2
The angular velocity of the ring (ω) is
L=Iω
L=MR2ω
ω=MR2L?
ω=(3)(1)290?
ω=30rad/s
