Conservation Of Angular Momentum
The angular momentum of an isolated system remains constant in both magnitude and direction. The angular momentum is defined as the product of the moment of inertia I and the angular velocity. The ...
Angular Momentum
The angular momentum of a rigid object is defined as the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity. It is analogous to linear momentum and is subject to the fundamental constraints of ...
Orbital Angular Momentum
Introduction to orbital angular momentum and then total angular momentum with links to the Schrodinger Equation and other topics.
Angular Momentum, Quantized
The quantization of angular momentum is a crucial result and can be used in determining the Bohr orbit radii and Bohr energies.
Torque and Angular Acceleration
Tutorial (with test) on torque and angular acceleration. Knowledge of moments of inertia is assumed.
Angular Momentum
A mathematical definition of angular momentum.
Angular Velocity
For an object rotating about an axis, every point on the object has the same angular velocity.
Angular momentum and area for a particle moving in a straight line
An animation to illustrate that a particle moving in a straight line conserves angular momentum and obeys Kepler's second law
Description of Rotation
Basic definitions of radian, angular velocity and acceleration.
Rotational Motion - Self Test
A short series of self-test questions on torque, moment of inertia, and angular acceleration
