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

Công thức

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

Hướng dẫn từng bước

  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

Ví dụ có lời giải

đầu vào
m = 1 kg, v = 10 m/s, r = 0.5 m
Kết quả
L = 5 kg·m²/s
Perpendicular distance crucial

Lỗi thường gặp cần tránh

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

Câu hỏi thường gặp

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.
