Question

Consider an object (of mass M) moving around an orbit in space. Please answer the following questions with "Y" or "N" depending on whether the statement is time: The smallest orbital angular momentum component around the z-axis greater than zero that this object can have is equal to h. True? The smallest non zero value for the square of the total angular momentum this object can have is Iti1. True? If the motion is clock-wise around the origin in the x-y plane, the z-component of the orbital angular momentum has to be an integer multiple of -h. True? A figure skater is rotating 011 the tips of her skates with an angular momentum around her body axis (the z-axis) of 10 kg m2/s. As her rotation slows down (due to the remaining friction), it can only change by 1034 kg m2/s increments (i.e., her angular momentum around the z-axis is quantized). True?
