Understanding Angular Momentum
Angular momentum is a measure of the amount of rotation an object has, taking into account its mass, shape, and speed. It is a crucial concept in physics, particularly in the study of rotational dynamics.
Learn more about angular momentum's role in our everyday world and how it manifests in both natural phenomena and man-made systems.
Key Equations
- Angular Momentum (L): \( L = I \times \omega \)
- Moment of Inertia (I):
- Angular Velocity (ω):
Where L is angular momentum, I is the moment of inertia, and ω is angular velocity.
