angulaarmoment
Angular momentum is a fundamental concept in physics, representing the rotational equivalent of linear momentum. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction, and its value depends on the mass of an object, its velocity, and its distance from a point of rotation. For a single point particle, angular momentum is defined as the cross product of its position vector (from the origin) and its linear momentum. For a rigid body rotating about a fixed axis, angular momentum is the product of its moment of inertia and its angular velocity. The moment of inertia is a measure of how resistant an object is to changes in its rotational motion, analogous to mass in linear motion.
A key principle in physics is the conservation of angular momentum. This principle states that if no
