Linear momentum: rigid bodies In a homework problem for this course, students are asked to consider the motion of a system made up of a plate (having a mass of m) which is pinned to a cart B (having a ...

As expected, both of the x – and y -components of linear momentum for the system are a constant, even through the times of impacts. It is easy to see that the individual momenta of the particles are ...

The roles of energy, momentum and orbital angular momentum conservation in high-harmonic generation were studied in the past. Here, we explore the role of spin angular momentum in high-harmonic ...
