This might be a silly question, but: Given a (perfect) seesaw made of homogeneous material and sides of equal length, weight, etc., the seesaw is already tilted to one side in its initial state, or rather, one side is closer to the ground. Why does the seesaw then tilt in the latter direction? Unfortunately, I…
So is the secondary quantum number really the magnitude of the angular momentum? Because then the mass of the particle being described should actually play a role (L=v*m*r).
How do you calculate this? A few sources would also be helpful.
Do you always have to calculate this with an integral, unless it says that it is only assumed to be a point mass? But there are so many problems where you do something with a cylinder or sphere (not related to moment of inertia). How do you know when the normal formula only applies to…
The answer seems to be that the possible measurement results of L z correspond to the eigenvalues of L z . I know how these are calculated, but why is that?
How do you choose the sign of the momentum or the angular momentum? Below is an image for better understanding: Body 1 with mass m1 is connected to a fixed support via a massless rod. Body 1 rotates around support A with angular velocity w1 until it encounters body 2 at point 2. We are…
that there ^ It's supposed to represent a derivative, but what I don't understand about physics is that it's just an angle? So, just a number? How are you supposed to differentiate that single number, since that would always result in 0? I haven't understood that so many times now? Or are you supposed to…
My question: Hey I am sorry that I am asking so many questions at the moment, but practice makes perfect (hopefully haha) So the following task: a carousel on the playground with the moment of inertia Ik and radius R rotates without friction with the angular velocity w. w=20 1/s, Ik=50Kgm^2, R=1.50m a) Now a…
Hello How exactly does this experiment work and what does it have to do with angular momentum?
Hello, Does anyone know how to calculate the energy and angular momentum of a satellite in an elliptical orbit? (see sketch) Thanks!
