Problem 6PE
The mass of Earth is 5.972×1024 kg and its orbital radius is an average of 1.496×1011 m . Calculate its linear momentum.
ANSWER:
Solution 6PE
Step 1 of 5
We have to find the linear momentum () of the Earth and it can be done by finding the velocity of the Earth in its orbit and then using the expression,
where, = mass of the Earth = 5.972×1024 kg
= velocity in m/s
