11.2 Exercise 15

Avg difficulty 2.5

An airplane of mass 4.0×104kg4.0 \times 10^{4} \text{kg} flies horizontally at an altitude of 10 km with a constant speed of 250 m/s relative to Earth. (a) What is the magnitude of the airplane’s angular momentum relative to a ground observer directly below the plane? (b) Does the angular momentum change as the airplane flies along a constant altitude?
