Angular Momentum

Angular Momentum. Inertia and Velocity. In the law of action we began with mass and acceleration F = ma This was generalized to use momentum: p = mv. Moment of Momentum. To continue the analysis of rotational motion, we must also extend the idea of momentum. p. r. Law of Angular Inertia.

  1. Angular Momentum

  2. Inertia and Velocity • In the law of action we began with mass and acceleration • F = ma • This was generalized to use momentum: p = mv.

  3. Moment of Momentum • To continue the analysis of rotational motion, we must also extend the idea of momentum. p r

  4. Law of Angular Inertia • The time derivative of angular momentum is the net torque. • A net external torque causes a change in angular momentum.

  5. Applying Torque • An external torque changes angular momentum. • dL/dt= t L L+rpsinq w w p

  6. Spinning Mass • The moment of inertia is the analog of mass for rotational motion. • The analog for angular momentum would be: w

  7. Conservation • With no external torque, angular momentum is constant. • dL/dt= 0, L = constant 4w w m r/2 r I = mr2 I = mr2/4 next
