Question

You do NOT need to show your work. Express both answers in MKS units. Be sure to include correct units and sig.figs.! What is the Sun's angular momentum as it spins about its own axis? (Assume that our Sun is a solid sphere that completes one rotation every 28J days. Additional astronomical data are located in Appendix F or the rear end pages of your textbook.) What is the angular momentum of Earth as it orbits the Sun? (Assume that Earth is a "point mass" orbiting in uniform circular motion. Ignore the Earth's om rotation. All necessary astronomical data are heated in Appendix F or the rear end pages of your textbook.)

Explanation / Answer

L1) l1 =I*W = (2/5)*M*R^2*(2*3.14*R)/T = ((2/5)*2*10^30*6.96*10^8*2*3.14*6.96*10^8)

/(28.3*24*60*60) = 9.95
