    Jumping up on a rotating Earth

    Thank you for answering! My problem rised from the equation j=p x r And since r is increased and p (linear momentum) stays constant it seems as though j (angular momentum) must increase as well (contrary to staying constant). If I understand correctly from your drawing it can be seen that the...

    Jumping up on a rotating Earth

    Hello, I know it suppose to be a relatively basic question but still somehow I can't fully understand it. Let assume that a man jumps vertically on the equator, while the Earth is of course rotating. What will happen to the value of his linear momentum in the horizontal axis? It seems to me...

    Potential energy and annihilation

    Let's assume an electron and an anti-electron are in a gravitational field so they both have potential energy. What will become of this energy if they annihilate? Will the momentum of the photons after the annihilation will increase so the total energy will be conserved? Thanks for answering!
