Half-life, in radioactivity, the interval of time required for one-half of the atomic nuclei of a radioactive sample to decay (change spontaneously into other nuclear species by emitting particles and energy), or, equivalently, the time interval required for the number of disintegrations per second of a radioactive

SashulF [63]

Answer:

 L = 41.09 Kg m2 / s      The angular momentum does not depend on the time

Explanation:

The definition of angular momentum is

        L = r x p

Where blacks indicate vectors

Let's apply this definition our case. Linear momentum

      p = m v

Let's replace

      L = m r x v

The given function is

      x = 6.00 i ^ + 4.15 t j ^

We look for speed

     v = dx / dt

     v = 0 + 4.15 j ^

To evaluate the angular momentum one of the best ways is to use determinants

     L = m \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\6&4.15t&0\\0&4.15&0\end{array}\right]

      L = m 6 4.15 k ^

The other products give zero

Let's calculate

      L = 1.65 6 4.15 k ^

      L = 41.09 Kg m2 / s

The angular momentum does not depend on the time
