Question:
Consider the rotational motion of the Earth as it spins about the axis that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. Find the magnitude and direction of the angular momentum L(vector) associated with the spinning Earth. Assume the Earth is a sphere of uniform density.
Step by Step Answer:
The angular momentum can be found if we know the moment of inertia and angular spe...View the full answer

In this experiment, we will discuss Newton\'s second law of motion. In this experiment, we use a bucket that is filled with water and attach it to a rope that passes from the pulley. A person is pulling the rope down to lift the bucket filled with water. The question is how much time does a bucket take to fall on the ground when we leave the rope? A 2.0 kg bucket is attached to a massless string that is wrapped around a 1.0 kg, 4.0 cm diameter cylinder. The cylinder rotates on an axle through the center. The bucket is released from rest 1.0 m above the floor. How long does it take to reach the floor?
