The law of conservation of angular momentum.

What is angular momentum?

Angular momentum is the rotational analog of linear momentum in physics. It is a conserved quantity, meaning the total angular momentum of a closed system remains constant. Both the direction and magnitude of angular momentum are conserved.

What is the law of conservation of angular momentum?

The law of conservation of angular momentum asserts that a system's total angular momentum is conserved when there is no external torque present. In other words, the magnitude and direction of the total angular momentum of an isolated system remain constant.

According to the Nebular Theory, the solar system originated as a massive, slowly rotating cloud of gas measuring around one light-year in diameter. As the cloud cooled, its own gravity caused it to collapse. It distorted into a revolving pancake shape due to the conservation of angular momentum, which required it to spin faster as it shrank.

Hence, the law of conservation of angular momentum best explains why the solar nebula spun faster as it shrank in size.

Which of the following statements is false?
agasfer [191]

A & B

Observe the path of the light ray as it passes through the lenses as shown in the attached images. Concave lenses diverge light rays while the convex lens converges the light rays.

Explanation:

Real images are formed where the rays converge, a property of images by convex lenses. Convex lenses can be used to magnify objects. If the image occurs before the focal point of the lens then the image will be upright but smaller. The images inverts and gets bigger past the focal point.

Virtual images are property of concave lenses. These images appear closer but smaller than the real object.
