As the satellite panels extend, the angular velocity decreases due to drag force, and hence it will cause a decrease in the angular momentum of the satellite.

<h3>What is angular momentum?</h3>

Angular momentum is defined as the quantity of rotation of a body, which is the product of  mass, velocity and radius.

L = mvr

L = mωr²

where;

  • m is mass of the object
  • v is velocity
  • r is radius
  • ω is angular velocity

As the satellite panels extend, the angular velocity decreases due to drag force, and hence it will cause a decrease in the angular momentum of the satellite.

A vertical spring with a spring constant of 420 N/m is mounted on the floor. From directly above the spring, which is unstrained
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

19.53 cm

Explanation:

The computation of the height is as follows:

Here we applied the conservation of the energy formula

As we know that

P.E of the block = P.E of the spring

 m g h = ( 1 ÷ 2) k x^2

where

m = 0.15

g = 9.81

k = 420

x = 0.037

So now put the values to the above formula

(0.15) (9.81) (h) = 1 ÷2 × 420 × (0.037)^2

1.4715 (h) = 0.28749

h = 0.19537 m

= 19.53 cm
