Most of our Solar System's mass is contained in the Sun, and the planets possess almost all of the Solar System's angular momentum. This observation plays a key role in theories attempting to explain the formation of our Solar System. Estimate the fraction of the Solar System's total angular momentum that is possessed by planets using a simplified model which includes only the large outer plan- ets with the most angular momentum. The central Sun (mass 1.99 × 1030 kg, radius 6.96 × 10° m) spins about its axis once every 25 days and the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune move in nearly circular orbits around the Sun with orbital data given in the Table below. Ignore each planet's spin about its own axis.

A star originates as a large body of slowly rotating gas.Because of gravitational attraction, this large body of gas slowly decreases in size.You can assume that no external forces are acting.Which one of the following statements correctly describes what happens as the radius of the body of gas decreases? Both the moment of inertia and the angular velocity increase. Both the angular momentum and the angular velocity increase. The angular momentum increases and the angular velocity decreases. Both the angular momentum and the angular velocity decrease. The angular momentum remains constant and the angular velocity increases.

Under some circumstances, a star can collapse into an extremely dense object made mostly of neutrons and called a neutron star. A star with a of mass of 2.0x1032 kg and radius 7.0x108 m is initially rotating at a rate of once every 30 days. The star collapses into a neutron star with the same mass but a new radius of 16,000 m. What is the angular speed of the star? (Give your answer in rotations per second.) Assume the star is a solid sphere: Isphere = 2/5 MR2. The Crab Nebula (shown below) formed from a nearby supernova (6000 light years away). Chinese astronomers observed the event in the year 1054 and since that time the nebula has been expanding into what it appears like today. The Crab Pulsar is a neutron star at the center of the nebula and the remains of the original supernova.

The figure shows multiple solid disks with uniform mass distribution that are spinning about its center. The mass of the disks are the same, but they have different radii, as shown. Rank the disks by the amount of energy needed to spin the disk so that the outer edge of the disk has linear velocity v, from greatest to least. Explain your reasoning. A B с

A 20-kg child running at 1.4 m/s jumps onto a playground merry-go-round that has mass 180 kg and radius 1.6m. She is moving tangent to the platform when she jumps and she lands right on the edge. What is the angular velocity of the child and the merry-go-round if the merry-go-round started from rest? You can treat the merry-go-round as a solid disc and ignore any friction in its axle. Please answer in units of rad/sec.
