---|---|---|
Angular momentum of a spinning object without linear momentum is proportional to rotational inertia and angular velocity. | ||
Angular momentum of an object with linear momentum is proportional to mass, linear velocity, and perpendicular radius from an axis to the line of the object's motion. | ||
Change in angular momentum is proportional to average net torque and the time interval the torque is applied. |
How to find the angular momentum of an object moving in a straight line
People forget that an object moving in a straight line (having linear momentum) can have angular momentum. For example, let’s say we throw a ball at one end of a stick (see Figure 1). The stick can pivot around point . When the ball hits the stick, the stick rotates.
If the system of the ball and stick has no net external torque, the only way the stick could get angular momentum is from the ball during the collision. Thus, the ball must initially have some angular momentum. The ball’s angular momentum about point before the collision is
Często spotykane błędy i nieporozumienia
People mistakenly think any external force acting on a system will change angular momentum. Angular momentum is changed by a net external torque, but not all forces cause a torque. To produce a torque , a force must have a lever arm and a component perpendicular to the lever arm.
For more detail about torque, refer to our torque and equilibrium article.
