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

  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

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.
