A particle of mass 1.00 $\mathrm{kg}$ is moving with velocity $\vec{\mathbf{v}}=(7.0 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+6.0 \hat{\mathbf{j}}) \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} .$ (a) Find the angular momentum $\vec{\mathbf{L}}$ relative to the origin when the particle is at $\vec{\mathbf{r}}=(2.0 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+4.0 \hat{\mathbf{k}}) \mathrm{m}$ . (b) At position $\vec{\mathbf{r}}$ a force of $\vec{\mathbf{F}}=4.0 \mathrm{N\hat{\textrm{i } }}$ is applied to the particle. Find the torque relative to the origin.

Key Concepts

Angular Momentum

Angular momentum quantifies the rotational motion of a particle relative to a reference point. It is computed as the cross product of the position vector and the linear momentum of the particle, encapsulating both the magnitude of the displacement from the origin and the momentum directed perpendicular to that displacement. This concept is fundamental in rotational dynamics and is conserved in isolated systems.

Torque

Torque measures the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis or pivot. It is defined as the cross product of the position vector (drawn from the reference point to the point of force application) and the force vector. In rotational dynamics, torque determines the angular acceleration of an object and is directly related to the rate of change of angular momentum.

Cross Product

The cross product is a mathematical operation used with vectors in three-dimensional space. It takes two vectors and produces a third vector that is perpendicular to the plane formed by the original vectors. The magnitude of this resulting vector is proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the two vectors and the sine of the angle between them, making it a vital tool for calculating quantities like angular momentum and torque.
