Lecture

Angular Momentum: Point Particle

Description

This lecture covers the definition and calculation of angular momentum, using concepts of torque, rotational kinetic energy, and conservation of angular momentum to solve problems related to the kinematics and dynamics of rotating solid objects. Examples are provided to illustrate the calculation of angular momentum about different points and in circular motion. The lecture also introduces the angular momentum of a rigid body about a fixed axis, discussing symmetric objects, kinetic energy, and the application of the right-hand rule.
