Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A satellite orbits Earth and starts spinning on its axis. How does its angular momentum change as it spins faster?

💡 Hint: Consider how speed affects rotation and direction.

Challenge 2 Hard

A rigid body is rotating about an axis that is not its principal axis. How does the moment of inertia tensor affect the dynamics?

💡 Hint: Think about how the distribution of mass influences rotation.
