Angular momentum is defined as the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity of the objec...

Transcript

A spinning mass has the property of angular momentum and conservation of angular momentum is central to solving problems in rotational dynamics.

As explained in another video of this collection, an object's linear momentum does not change, that is ?p is zero until a net external force is applied.

The same conservation principle appli...
