Angular Momentum Calculator

The Angular Momentum Calculator is a tool used to calculate the angular momentum of an object or system. Angular momentum is a property of rotating objects and is determined by the mass, velocity, and distance from the axis of rotation.

Formula

The formula to calculate angular momentum is:

Angular Momentum (L) = Moment of Inertia (I) * Angular Velocity (ω)

Where:

Moment of Inertia (I) is a measure of an object’s resistance to rotational motion and depends on the object’s mass distribution and axis of rotation.
Angular Velocity (ω) is the rate of change of angular displacement over time.

Example

If an object has a moment of inertia of 2 kg·m² and an angular velocity of 5 rad/s, the calculation would be: Angular Momentum = 2 kg·m² * 5 rad/s = 10 kg·m²/s

Therefore, the angular momentum would be 10 kg·m²/s.
