Answer:
L = 5076.5 kg m² / s
Explanation:
The angular momentum of a particle is given by
L = r xp
L = r m v sin θ
the bold are vectors, where the angle is between the position vector and the velocity, in this case it is 90º therefore the sine is 1
as we have two bodies
L = 2 r m v
let's find the distance from the center of mass, let's place a reference frame on one of the masses
=
i
x_{cm} =
x_{cm} =
x_{cm} =
x_{cm} = 13.1 / 2 = 6.05 m
let's calculate
L = 2 6.05 74.3 5.65
L = 5076.5 kg m² / s
Answer:
The Total Mechanical Energy
As already mentioned, the mechanical energy of an object can be the result of its motion (i.e., kinetic energy) and/or the result of its stored energy of position (i.e., potential energy). The total amount of mechanical energy is merely the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy.
