Angular momentum describes the rotational motion of objects, analogous to linear momentum. It's crucial for understanding spinning objects, orbits, and rotational dynamics.

公式

The calculator applies L = m × v × r or L = I × ω
L
m × v × r or L = I × ω — m × v × r or L = I × ω
I
I value — Variable used in the calculation

ステップバイステップガイド

  1. 1Input mass, velocity, and perpendicular distance from rotation axis (r)
  2. 2The calculator applies L = m × v × r or L = I × ω
  3. 3Results show angular momentum magnitude and direction

解いた例

入力
m = 1 kg, v = 10 m/s, r = 0.5 m
結果
L = 5 kg·m²/s
Perpendicular distance crucial

避けるべきよくある間違い

  • Using linear momentum formulas instead of angular versions
  • Forgetting that distance r must be perpendicular to velocity

よくある質問

Why do ice skaters spin faster when they pull their arms in?

Angular momentum is conserved; decreasing moment of inertia (I) causes angular velocity (ω) to increase.

Is angular momentum conserved?

Yes, in systems with no external torque. This is why planetary orbits remain stable.
