Angular momentum describes the rotational motion of objects, analogous to linear momentum. It's crucial for understanding spinning objects, orbits, and rotational dynamics.
공식
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
단계별 가이드
- 1Input mass, velocity, and perpendicular distance from rotation axis (r)
- 2The calculator applies L = m × v × r or L = I × ω
- 3Results show angular momentum magnitude and direction
풀어진 예시
입력
m = 1 kg, v = 10 m/s, r = 0.5 m
결과
L = 5 kg·m²/s
Perpendicular distance crucial
피해야 할 일반적인 실수
- ✕Using linear momentum formulas instead of angular versions
- ✕Forgetting that distance r must be perpendicular to velocity
자주 묻는 질문
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.
