Part A
Calculate the magnitude of the angular momentum of the Earth in a circular orbit around the sun. The Earth has mass 5.97
PART A:
Angular momentum of earth around the sun in a circular orbit,
Where, r= radious of the circular orbit
v=velocity in that orbit
T=time required for one complete rotation around its orbit.
angular momentum,
Kg m2/s
PART B:
Angular momentum of earth around its own axis,
where, R= radius of earth
w=angular velocity
V=velocity of earth rotation about its own axis
angular momentum,
Kg m2/s
