Arigid body must rotate about an axis in order for it to have angular momentum about that axis. True False

Physics
1 answer:
kompoz [17]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Let's consider the definition of the angular momentum,

\vec{L} = I \vec{\omega}

where I = \int\limits_m r^2 dm = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum\limits_{i=1}^n m_i r_i^2 is the moment of inertia for a rigid body. Now, this moment of inertia could change if we change the axis of rotation, because "r" is defined as the distance between the puntual mass and the nearest point on the axis of rotation, but still it's going to have some value. On the other hand,

\vec{\omega} = \frac{\vec{r} \times \vec{v}}{r^2} so \vec{\omega} \neq 0 unless \vec{r} ║  \vec{v}.

In conclusion, a rigid body could rotate about certain axis, generating an angular momentum, but if you choose another axis, there could be some parts of the rigid body rotating around the new axis, especially if there is a projection of the old axis in the new one.

valkas [14]

The factor that can have a significant influence on a planet’s surface temperature is its atmosphere.

<h3>What is the role of the atmosphere in the planet's temperature?</h3>

The atmosphere plays a fundamental role in the Earth planet's temperature because it allows the entry and out of certain types of radiation that may increase the temperature.

The role of the atmosphere in the Earth's temperature is well documented because our temperature is thick and it increases its homeostatic temperature balance.

In conclusion, the factor that alters a planet’s surface temperature is its atmosphere.

How are stars formed and classified?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Stars form from an accumulation of gas and dust, which collapses due to gravity and starts to form stars. Stars are typically classified by their spectrum in what is known as the Morgan-Keenan or MK system.
