Angular Momentum
A spinning object has angular momentum, represented by l or L.
Four fast facts about angular momentum
- L = Iω
- Angular momentum is a vector, pointing in the direction of the angular velocity.
- If there is no net torque acting on a system, the system's angular momentum is conserved.
- A net torque produces a change in angular momentum that is equal to the torque multiplied by the time interval during which the torque was applied.
