Heading straight toward the summit of Pikes Peak, an airplane of mass 10000 kg f

Question

Heading straight toward the summit of Pikes Peak, an airplane of mass10000kg flies over the plains of Kansas at nearly constant altitude of 4.30 km with a constant velocity of175m/s west.

Heading straight toward the summit of Pikes Peak, an airplane of mass10000kg flies over the plains of Kansas at nearly constant altitude of 4.30 km with a constant velocity of175m/s west. (a) What is the airplane's vector angular momentum relative to a wheat farmer on the ground directly below the airplane? vector j kg m^2/s (b) Does this value change as the airplane continues its motion along a straight line? Yes no (c) What is its angular momentum relative to the summit of Pikes Peak? Kg m^2/s

Explanation / Answer

a)angular momentum L=r cross (mv)=4.3*1000*175=-752500 j kg m^2/s b)no c) theta is 180 degree so the angular momentum will be zero
