Description

This lecture covers the concepts of angular momentum for point particles and rigid bodies, torque, conservation of momentum, angular impulse, and their application to planetary motion according to Newton's laws. It also discusses Kepler's laws, the elliptical orbits of planets, and the relationship between a planet's orbital period and its distance from the Sun.
