Angular Momentum (Point Mass)
L = m·v·r
What it says
Angular momentum is the rotational equivalent of linear momentum. This adapter calculates the angular momentum for a point mass moving in a circle at a constant velocity.
Symbols
| Symbol | Quantity | Dimension |
|---|---|---|
L | Angular momentum (kg·m^2/s) | M L^2 T^-1 |
m | Mass (kg) | M |
v | Tangential velocity (m/s) | L T^-1 |
r | Radius of the circular path (m) | L |
