ANGULAR MOMENTUM:-

• Angular momentum is defined as: The property

of any rotating object given by moment of
inertia times angular velocity.
• It is the property of a rotating body given by the
product of the moment of inertia and the angular
velocity of the rotating object.
 •L=rmv 5
Formula:-
• L= Angular Momentum

• r=radius
• m=mass
• V=velocity

COMPARISON

ADD A FOOTER
The difference between angular momentum and linear momentum

Linear momentum Angular momentum

describes an object with angular motion.
describes an object moving in a direct
A torque is required to change the
path
A force is required to change the linear angular momentum
conserved when net external torque is
momentum
 conserved when the net external force zero
is zero.  L=mvr
 p=mv  unit: Kg

Conservation of angular momentum:-

ADD A FOOTER
Conservation of angular momentum is : a physical property of a spinning system such
that its spin remains constant unless it is acted upon by an external torque
The speed of rotation is constant as long as net torque is zero.

 For a circular orbit, the formula for angular momentum is (mass) ×(velocity) ×(radius of
the circle): (angular momentum) = m × v × r .

Law of conservation of angular momentum:-

ADD A FOOTER
The law of conservation of angular momentum states that:- when no external torque
acts on an object, no change of angular momentum will occur.
Some examples of momentum:-
The Earth continues to spin at the same rate it has for billions of
years.
