Angular Momentum Formula

Angular momentum relates to how much an object is rotating. An object has a


constant angular momentum when it is neither speeding up nor slowing down.
It is equal to the cross product of a length and a linear momentum. The length
is between a center of rotation and a point where the linear momentum is
present. The cross product can only be applied between two vectors (magnitude
and direction), and the solution to a cross product is: , where
is a vector that is perpendicular to the other two. The units of angular
momentum are kgm2/s.
angular momentum = (distance from the center of rotation) x (linear
momentum)

angular momentum (kgm2/s)


length vector, directed from the center of rotation to the momentum
point(meters)
linear momentum vector (kgm/s)
