Angular momentum of an object revolving around an external axis is equal to the cross-product of the position vector with respect to and its linear momentum.
Angular momentum of a rotating object is equal to the moment of inertia times angular velocity.
Force and linear momentum, torque and angular momentumedit
Net force is equal to the change in linear momentum over the change in time.
Net torque is equal to the change in angular momentum over the change in time.
Mass(m): A quantity that describes how much material exists, or how the material responds in a gravitational field. Mass is a measure of inertia. (kg)
Velocity (v): Displacement divided by time (m/s)
Angular momentum (L): A vector quantity that represents the tendency of an object in circular or rotational motion to remain in this motion. (kg·m2/s)
Moment of inertia (I): A scalar property of a rotating object. This quantity depends on the mass of the object and how it is distributed. The equation that defines this is different for differently shaped objects. (kg·m2)
Angular speed (ω): A scalar measure of the rotation of an object. Instantaneous velocity divided by radius of motion (rad/s)
Angular velocity (ω): A vector measure of the rotation of an object. Instantaneous velocity divided by radius of motion, in the direction of the axis of rotation. (rad/s)
Force (F): mass times acceleration, a vector. Units: newtons (N)
Time(t): (s)
Isolated system: A system in which there are no external forces acting on the system.
Position vector (r): a vector from a specific origin with a magnitude of the distance from the origin to the position being measured in the direction of that position. (m)
