4. The planet Earth orbits around the Sun and also spins around its own axis. (a) Calculate the angular momentum of Earth in its orbit around the sun. (b) Calculate the angular momentum of Earth spinning on its axis. (c) What is the ratio of the angular momentum of Earth in its orbit to the angular momentum of Earth about its axis?
The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days). Determine the average angular velocity (in rad/s) of the earth as it (a) spins on its axis and (b) orbits the sun. In each case, take the positive direction for the angular displacement to be the direction of the earth's motion.

What is the angular kinetic energy of the Earth due to its orbit around the sun? In Homework 10, you found the two main angular velocities of the Earth: one due to the Earth's motion around the sun, and one due to its rotation about its own axis. Now let's figure out the energy and momentum associated with that motion. IVO ALV O a ? For the purposes of this problem, treat the Earth as a solid, uniform sphere with...
The Earth has two main angular velocities as it moves through space. One is due to its motion around the sun, the other is due to its rotation around its own axis. A. What is the angular speed of the Earth as it revolves around the sun? (answer in rad/s) B. The radius of the Earth's orbit around the sun is about 1.5×108 km. Based on your answer to Part A, what is the tangential speed of the Earth as...
The tidal forces between the Earth and the Moon slowed down the Moon's rotation about its own axis until the rotation period became equal to the Moon's orbital period around the Earth as we observe today. The same effect is also slowing down the Earth's rotation about its own axis and increasing the separation \(D\) between the Moon and the Earth at a rate of \(\Delta D / \Delta t=3.8 \mathrm{~cm}\) per year. In this problem, you can ignore the...
Because the earth's orbit is slightly elliptical, the earth actually gets closer to the sun during part of the year. When the earth is closer to the sun its orbital speed is greater than when the earth is farthest away from the sun. less than when the earth is farthest away from the sun. the same as when the earth is farthest away from the sun.
003 10.0 points Earth orbits the sun once every 365.25 days. Find the average angular speed of Earth about the sun. Answer in units of rad/s. 004 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points A disk with a radius of 0.1 m is spinning about its center with a constant angular speed of 10 rad/sec. What are the speed and magnitude of the acceleration of a bug clinging to the rim of the disk? 1. 1 m/s and 0 m/s2 (Disk...
A comet moves about the Sun in an elliptical orbit, with its closest approach to the Sun being about 0.620 AU and its greatest distance from the sun being 35.5 AU (1 AU = the Earth-Sun distance). If the comet's speed at closest approach is 54.0 km/s, what is its speed when it is farthest from the Sun? (The gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the comet is parallel to the moment arm, so exerts no torque. Therefore, angular...
