Two cars A and B each of mass 10^3 text kg are moving on parallel tracks separated by a distance of 10 text m, in same direction with speeds 72 text km/h and 36 text km/h. The magnitude of angular momentum of car A with respect to car B is ________ textJcdottexts.

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula L_textrel = m cdot V_textrel cdot r_perp ### Core Logic The relative angular momentum of a particle translating uniformly with respect to another moving reference frame can be found using their relative velocity and the perpendicular distance between their lines of motion. Relative velocity of A with respect to B: V_textrel = V_A - V_B = 72 - 36 = 36 text km/h ### Step 1: Conversion to SI units V_textrel = 36 times frac518 text m/s = 10 text m/s ### Step 2: Final Conclusion Using the perpendicular distance (r_perp = 10 text m) and mass (m = 10^3 text kg): L = m cdot V_textrel cdot r_perp L = 1000 times 10 times 10 = 10^5 text kg m^2text/s text (or Jcdottexts) ### Pattern Recognition For parallel tracks, the angular momentum of one translating body relative to another is simply m times v_textrelative times texttrack separation. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Systems of Particles and Rotational Motion Class 11 Physics: Kinematics
