Question
The mass of Earth is $5.972 \times 10^{24} \mathrm{kg}$ and its orbital radius is an average of $1.496 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{m}$. Calculate its linear momentum.
Step 1
Linear momentum \( p \) is given by the formula: \[ p = mv \] where \( m \) is the mass and \( v \) is the velocity. Show more…

The mass of Earth is 5.972 x 1024 kg and its orbital radius is an average of 1.496 x 1011 m. Calculate its linear momentum, given the period of one rotation is 3.15 x 107 s
The mass of Earth is $5.97 \times 10^{24} \mathrm{kg}$ and its orbital radius is an average of $1.50 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{m}$. Calculate the magnitude of its linear momentum at the location in the diagram.
Calculate the angular momentum of Earth as it orbits the Sun. Recall that the mass of Earth is $5.98 \times 1024 \mathrm{~kg}, 5.98 \times 10^{24} \mathrm{~kg}$, the distance between Earth and the Sun is $1.50 \times 1011 \mathrm{~m}, 1.50 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~m}$, and the time for one orbit is $365.3$ days.
