Section 8-8: Angular Momentum Define: Angular Momentum of rotating body (moment of inertia I, angular velocity ω): L Iω (kg m2/s) Recall, general Newton’s 2nd Law: ∑F = (p/t) (= ma) if ∑F = 0, (p/t) = 0 & p = constant Momentum is conserved if the total force = 0 (collisions!)
if ∑τ = 0, (L/t) = 0 & L = constant Angular Momentum L Iω Similar to momentum case, can show, rotational version of Newton’s 2nd Law: ∑τ = (L/t) (= Iα) if ∑τ = 0, (L/t) = 0 & L = constant Angular Momentum is conserved if total torque = 0 Example: t = 0, angular velocity ω0 time t, angular velocity ω L = L0 or Iω = I0ω0 Change moment of inertia from I0 to I by changing the body’s shape!
Conservation of Angular Momentum Example: Ice skater: L Iω. But I =∑(mr2) Iω = I0ω0
Conservation of Angular Momentum Example: Diver
