What Is Angular Momentum?

This physics video tutorial provides a basic introduction into angular momentum which is the product of an object's inertia and angular velocity. it also discusses the conservation of angular momentum and how it relates to torque.

This is not teaching, this is pure art! Thank you, bro! You're an absolute genius!

[The_shootingstar]

it took me so much time to find a video/ explaination in such a easy language. Thank u soo much for this amazing video
I am still in middle school but this video explained the whole topic very easily

You were meant to be a teacher, you r always best

The use of "L" for angular momentum actually stems from the Latin term "impetus laevis, " meaning "smooth tendency to motion."

[The_shootingstar]

The choice of the symbol
L to represent angular momentum in physics comes from historical conventions and mathematical convenience.
Here are a few reasons why L is commonly used to represent angular momentum:
Consistency with Linear Momentum: In many physics textbooks and courses, linear momentum is denoted by
p. Using a different letter for angular momentum helps to distinguish it from linear momentum. The letter
L was likely chosen to maintain consistency with the letter
p, as it is a prominent letter in the Latin alphabet.
Connection to the Term "Angular": The letter L may be chosen to represent angular momentum because it resembles the shape of a spinning object. When you think of an object rotating or spinning, it often forms a circular or angular shape, which aligns with the use of the letter
L to represent angular momentum.
Mathematical Convenience: In mathematical equations and formulas,
L is a convenient letter to use because it is clear and easy to distinguish from other symbols. It also doesn't have any specific meaning attached to it, allowing it to be used in various contexts related to angular momentum without confusion.

I love your videos. I finally understand various forms of mathematics and scientific definitions because of these videos. Thanks

[ibrahimabulssa]

Brother.. u teach better than my teacher

[standaside]

best easy explanation after watching so many videos

[mhmdchacha]

Hello Organic Chemistry Tutor!!
My friends and I love your videos, they are amazing and helpful.
We were wondering if you can do Multi-variable Calculus videos and Differential Equations?
Please take this into consideration. I know a lot of people who will definitely watch!!

[jadeforest]

Thank you so much for your videos. Your videos have helped me through Calculus, Physics, and Chemistry thus far! 😃

[tfl]

Thank you words alone can't express my appretiation

[kategmail]

Great explanation, thank you very much

[kg]

that was absolutely GREAT.
Thank U very much

[urbanrecluseclimbs]

Thank you! Finals are next week and this was what I really needed help on. Your videos are great!

[skhercy]

Thqmk you very very much. The best ever explanation of angular momentum🤗

[cadopotado]

Thank you so much, I watched the video once and instantly knew I had to take notes. Super helpful?

[xubarney]

just the perfect breadth for me, got everything covered! xD

[aimbotbob]

Hey would you mind doing a video like this on rotational dynamics? I know you've made a video a while back on it (I've watched it) but I'm still a bit confused

[asaaddekelver]

This is the best explanation of momentum, tysm!

[xubarney]

Thanks a lot! Much clearer than khan's video! a lot more logical and reasonable
