Question

Medal fan and testimony. Can someone explain the Angular Momentum formula

Answer 1

\[L = l*m*v = I*\omega\]

Answer 2

Do you know what each letter stands for, or is that what you are looking for?

Answer 3

No I don't was wondering if someone could explain the formula to me

Answer 4

Answer 5

ok so, angular momentum formula in words.

Angular Momentum is equal to length times mass times velocity. This is the same as the inertia times the angular velocity.

Here is a really good reference on it too. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/amom.html

Answer 6

okay, so the units come out to this

\[m*kg*\frac{ m }{ s } = kg~\frac{ m^{2} }{ s}\]

Answer 7

Yea, but when it's angular instead of measuring in meters, you measure in radians

Answer 8

but both work

Answer 9

so angular speed would be radians/second?

Answer 10

mhmm
