Serway & Jewett — Angular Momentum: Problem 10
Heading straight toward the summit of Pike’s Peak, an airplane of mass $12,000\text{ kg}$ flies over the plains of Kansas at nearly constant altitude $4.30\text{ km}$ with constant velocity $175\text{ m/s}$ west. (a) What is the airplane’s vector angular momentum relative to a wheat farmer on the ground directly below the airplane? (b) Does this value change as the airplane continues its motion along a straight line? (c) What If? What is its angular momentum relative to the summit of Pike’s Peak?
📝 Solution Approach
Find: (a) What is the airplane’s vector angular momentum relative to a; (b) Does this value change as the airplane continues its motion; (c) What If? What is its angular momentum relative to the summit
