Two cars A and B each of mass 103 kg are moving on parallel tracks separated by a distance of 10 m, in same direction with speeds 72 km/h and 36 km/h. The magnitude of angular momentum of car A with respect to car B is J s.
- 3.6 105
- 105
- 3 105
- 2 105
Answer
(2) 105
Solution
vA = 72 km/h = 20 m/s, vB = 36 km/h = 10 m/s
Velocity of A relative to B: vAB = 20 - 10 = 10 m/s (along the track)
Perpendicular distance of the line of motion of A from B: d = 10 m
L = m vAB d = 103 10 10 = 105 J s
