Angular momentum is a measure of?
angular momentum is the measure of angular motion in a body.
When the angular speed of an object increase its angular momentum may or may not increase?
if the angular speed of an object increase its angular momentum will also increase
What equations link angular and linear momentum If you exert a force on a free floating body it will have angular and linear momentum In what proportions and how are they linked?
angular momentum = linear momentum (of object) x perpendicular distance (from origin to the object) where x stands for cross product. angular momentum = mv x r (perpendicular dist.)
Is angular momentum always parallel to angular acceleration?
momentum is product of moment of inertia and angular velocity. There is always a 90 degree phase difference between velocity and acceleration vector in circular motion therefore angular momentum and acceleration can never be parallel
What feature of an orbital is related to the angular momentum quantum number l?
An atomic orbital is a mathematical term signifying the characteristics of the 'orbit' or cloud created by movement of an electron or pair of electrons within an atom. Angular momentum, signified as l, defines the angular momentum of the orbital's path as opposed to values n and m which correspond with the orbital's energy and angular direction, respectively.
What is the SI units torque and angular momentum?
The SI unit for torque is the newton-meter (N-m). The SI unit for angular momentum is kilogram square meter per second (kg.m^2/s).
Angular momentum is a measure of?
angular momentum is the measure of angular motion in a body.
What is ment by angular momentum and angular velocity?
Angular velocity means how fast something rotates. The exact definition of angular momentum is a bit more complicated, but it is the rotational equivalent of linear momentum. It is the product of moment of inertia and angular speed.
How do you calculate angular momentum in a rotating system?
Angular momentum in a rotating system is calculated by multiplying the moment of inertia of the object by its angular velocity. The formula for angular momentum is L I, where L is the angular momentum, I is the moment of inertia, and is the angular velocity.
What quantities are needed to calculate angular momentum?
To calculate angular momentum, you need the object's moment of inertia (a measure of its mass distribution), its rotational velocity, and the object's shape. The formula for angular momentum is L = Iω, where L is the angular momentum, I is the moment of inertia, and ω is the angular velocity.
Why is angular momentum NOT measured in kg m2 rad s-1?
For the same reason it's not measured in buckets of rotten fish: because those would not be the correct units. Angular momentum is the cross product of the linear momentum and the position vector relative to the center of rotation. If you do a dimensional analysis, you'll see that the proper units are joule-seconds.
What quanties are needed to calculate angular momentum?
To calculate angular momentum, you need the object's moment of inertia, its angular velocity, and the axis of rotation. The formula for angular momentum is given by L = I * ω, where L is the angular momentum, I is the moment of inertia, and ω is the angular velocity.
How can linear momentum be converted to angular momentum?
Linear momentum can be converted to angular momentum through the principle of conservation of angular momentum. When an object with linear momentum moves in a curved path or rotates, its linear momentum can be transferred to create angular momentum. This conversion occurs when there is a change in the object's direction or speed of rotation.
What is the relation between torque and angular momentum?
Torque is the rate of change of angular momentum. When a torque is applied to an object, it causes a change in the object's angular momentum. Conversely, an object with angular momentum will require a torque to change its rotational motion.
Which component of linear momentum does not contribute to angular momentum?
The linear momentum component that does not contribute to angular momentum is the component that is parallel to the axis of rotation. Only the perpendicular component of linear momentum contributes to angular momentum.
Is angular momentum conserved in the system?
Yes, angular momentum is conserved in the system.
How do solve conservation of angular momentum?
Usually you would use some fact you know about the physical system, and then write an equation that states that the total angular momentum "before" = the total angular momentum "after" some event.
