Angular Momentum - Conceptual Example 9.5-2

 

A 3-kg ball is attached to the end of a string that is 0.5 m long. A man whirls the ball over his head in a circle with a velocity of 4 m/s.

 

What is the angular momentum of the ball with respect to the center of the circle?

 

1.5 kg-m²/s
2 kg-m²/s
6 kg-m²/s
12 kg-m²/s
