Angular momentum is a vector quantity that represents the product of a body's rotational inertia and rotational velocity about a particular axis.
The angular momentum is the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity around an axis.The units of angular momentum are kg∙m2/s.
angular momentum = (moment of inertia)(angular velocity)
L = Iω
L = angular momentum (kg∙m2/s)
I = moment of inertia (kg∙m2)
ω = angularvelocity (radians/s)
