PHY221 Ch19/20: Angular Momentum 1.Main Points: Definition Proof dL/dt= Proof L=I for a rigid body Conservation of L 2.Examples Person running and jumping on merry-go-round Skater Gravity on Planet Sun

PHY221 Ch19/20 : Angular Momentum 1. Main Points Definition of: or for N particles: Proof: Follow parallel with introduction of momentum in translational description: As before we’ll only consider motion in a plane and thus all rotational quantities are vectors along same direction which is the axis perpendicular to that plane => we don’t worry about vectors!

PHY221 Ch19/20: Angular Momentum 1. Main Points Proof of L=I for a rigid body ( I =constant) by using = I Conservation of L when no external torque We assume internal Action/Reaction forces to act on the same line (not just direction)
4
PHY221 Ch19/20 : Angular Momentum 2. Discuss Example: Person jumps on merry-go-round: given m, M and vo what is the final w of person +merry-go-round
5
PHY221 Ch19/20 : Angular Momentum 2. Discuss Example: Skater
6
PHY221 Ch19/20 : Angular Momentum 2. Discuss Example: Planet around Sun. Prove conservation of L by showing =0
