Question

Define the term angular momentum . show that
the angular momentum
of a particle is the product
of linear momentum and
momentum arm ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

So linear (or translational) momentum is just mv. ... There is more than one equation for angular momentum. Linear momentum is mass multiplied by velocity, so it follows that angular momentum is the moment of inertia, measured in kilogram meters squared, multiplied by angular velocity, measured in radians per second.

Answer 2

Answer:

Angular momentum (rarely, moment of momentum or rotational momentum) is the rotational equivalent of linear momentum. It is an important quantity in physics because it is a conserved quantity—the total angular momentum of a closed system remains constant.
