Angular momentum is a vector quantity that describes the rotational motion of an object. It is the product of an object's moment of inertia and its angular velocity.
Angular momentum is measured in units of kilogram-meters squared per second (kg·m²/s).
Angular momentum and velocity are directly proportional. This means that an increase in angular velocity will result in an increase in angular momentum, and vice versa.
Yes, angular momentum can be conserved in a closed system where there are no external torques acting on the system. This is known as the law of conservation of angular momentum.
Angular momentum is a property of an object's rotational motion, while linear momentum is a property of an object's translational motion. Angular momentum is a vector quantity, while linear momentum is a scalar quantity.
