The discussion revolves around a problem involving a comet's angular momentum in an elliptical orbit around the sun. The problem provides specific parameters such as the mass of the comet, its distance from the sun at perihelion, and its linear velocity.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking to understand the basic definition and calculation of angular momentum. Some guidance has been offered regarding the multiplication of relevant quantities, but no consensus or complete method has emerged yet.
Participants have noted a lack of initial equations or definitions provided in the problem statement, which may affect the clarity of the discussion.
Yes. -- I mean yes to multiplying them together.missnuss said:Ok. So basically you multiply the three together? Sorry if I am slow.
