A driver with a mass of 60 kg is driving around a racetrack in uniform circular motion at 60m/s. The radius of the circular racetrack is 100 m. What is the magnitude of the driver'smomentum?

Respuesta :

ANSWER:

[tex]L=360000\frac{kg\cdot m^2}{s}[/tex]

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

mass = m = 60 kg

velocity = v = 60 m/s

radius = r = 100 m

The angular momentum is given by the following formula:

[tex]L=r\cdot m\cdot v[/tex]

Replacing:

[tex]\begin{gathered} L=60\cdot60\cdot100 \\ L=360000\frac{kg\cdot m^2}{s} \end{gathered}[/tex]
