The angular momentum (L) of a particle of mass $m$ moving at a constant speed $v$ in a circle of radius $r$ is given by $L=\operatorname{mvr}$ (Section 8.5 ). (a) What are the units of angular momentum in terms of SI base units? (b) The units of kinetic energy in terms of SI base units are $\frac{\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}}{\mathrm{~s}^{2}}$. Using SI unit analysis, show that the expression for the kinetic energy of this particle in terms of its angular momentum, $K=\frac{L^{2}}{2 m r^{\prime}}$, is dimensionally correct. (c) In the previous equation, the term $m r^{2}$ is called the moment of inertia of the particle in the circle. What are the units of moment of inertia in terms of SI base units?
A 3.6 kg object moves at constant speed with velocity vector v = 4i + 3j - 3k in m/s. What is the magnitude of its angular momentum L in kg m^2/s around a point at r = -2i + j + 10k m?
