Angular Momentum
The momentum of an object is given by multiplying its mass and velocity. Momentum is a property of any object that moves with mass. The only difference between angular momentum and linear momentum is that angular momentum deals with moving or spinning objects. A moving particle's linear momentum can be thought of as a measure of its linear motion. The force is proportional to the rate of change of linear momentum. Angular momentum is always directly proportional to mass. In rotational motion, the concept of angular momentum is often used. Since it is a conserved quantity—the total angular momentum of a closed system remains constant—it is a significant quantity in physics. To understand the concept of angular momentum first we need to understand a rigid body and its movement, a position vector that is used to specify the position of particles in space. A rigid body possesses motion it may be linear or rotational. Rotational motion plays important role in angular momentum.
Moment of a Force
The idea of moments is an important concept in physics. It arises from the fact that distance often plays an important part in the interaction of, or in determining the impact of forces on bodies. Moments are often described by their order [first, second, or higher order] based on the power to which the distance has to be raised to understand the phenomenon. Of particular note are the second-order moment of mass (Moment of Inertia) and moments of force.
![**Problem Statement:**
A solid globe (mass m = 10 kg, radius r = 0.20 m) is spinning at a rate of 9.5 revolutions per second about an axis through its center of mass. What is the total moment of inertia of the globe?
**Options:**
- ⃝ 0.13 kgm²
- ⃝ 0.2 kgm²
- ⃝ 0.16 kgm²
- ⃝ 0.4 kgm²
**Explanation:** The moment of inertia (I) of a solid sphere rotating about an axis through its center can be calculated using the formula:
\[I = \frac{2}{5} m r^2\]
Where:
- \(m\) is the mass of the sphere (10 kg)
- \(r\) is the radius of the sphere (0.20 m)
Substitute the given values into the formula:
\[I = \frac{2}{5} \times 10 \, \text{kg} \times (0.20 \, \text{m})^2\]
Please provide detailed solution on the website for better understanding.

To include information about the spinning rate or further technical details, please elaborate on how the spinning rate would be relevant to angular momentum or kinetic energy but it's not directly altering the moment of inertia calculation.
