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 ...
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 ...
Momentum and its Conservation
The impulse-momentum change theorem and the law of conservation of momentum are introduced, explained and applied to the analysis of collisions of objects.
Conservation Of Momentum
The momentum of an isolated system is a constant. The vector sum of the momentum of all the objects of a system cannot be changed by interactions within the system.
Orbital Angular Momentum
Introduction to orbital angular momentum and then total angular momentum with links to the Schrodinger Equation and other topics.
Momentum - Learn.co.za
A very nice site, this section covers momentum and has some good animations.
Momentum
The momentum of a particle is defined as the product of its mass times its velocity. It is a vector quantity.
Momentum
Index for a set of definitions relating to momentum. Contains some useful information.
The Physics Classroom: Momentum and its Conservation
One part of a physics tutorial, this part covering momentum and impulse. Following an introduction to the theory there are a number of exercises and problems to test understanding.
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.
