Question

what is angular momentum?​

Answer 1

Answer:

DEFINE

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.

OR

the quantity of rotation of a body, which is the product of its moment of inertia and its angular velocity.

EXAMPLE

Another popular example of the conservation of angular momentum is that of a person holding a spinning bicycle wheel on a rotating chair. The person then turns over the bicycle wheel, causing it to rotate in an opposite direction, as shown below.

FORMULA

L=mvr

stands for

L = angular momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

r = radius
