47: Angular Momentum

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

The rotational counterpart of momentum is called angular momentum. Just as linear momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity (p=m v), angular momentum L is defined as the product of moment of inertia and angular velocity:

L=I \omega .
