Lecture
Central Force Motion: Conservation of Angular Momentum
Description
This lecture covers the concept of central force motion, where a point mass is subjected only to a central force directed towards a fixed point. The conservation of angular momentum is illustrated through experiments showing the constant area swept by a rotating mass. The lecture explains the nature of central forces, the conservation of angular momentum, and the implications for orbital calculations in gravitational systems.
