Angular momentum describes an object that is rotating/spinning. So you’ll need the object’s mass and speed as well, but in a rotating frame. Somehow you need different tools to understand rotations (I mean, they are different compared to straight-line movements). So the equivalent of mass in a rotation/spin is the inability to rotate/spin, and the rotational/spin equivalent of velocity is just the amount of angle it covers per unit time. Take the product between “rotational mass” and “rotational velocity” to get angular momentum.
Applications:
flywheels used in vehicles; a fascinating and practical application
spin-orbit coupling of electrons in atoms; demonstrating hyper-fine spectroscopy phenomena
figure-skaters pulling their arms in; they spin faster but over-all angular momentum is conserved
space-craft launching with Earth-spin - gain speed but Earth fractionally loses momentum.
Hope it clear to you
