This Chapter 10 summary covers the key concepts of rotational motion and angular momentum in physics. The video explains torque, rotational kinematics, moment of inertia, and conservation of angular ...

In this video, we explain the conservation of angular momentum in AP Physics 1, showing why angular momentum remains constant and how it applies to rotating systems. You’ll see clear examples that ...

Introduction You might have seen figure skaters spinning around quickly and then tucking their arms to spin faster—or opening them to spin more slowly. This happens, thanks to a physics concept known ...

In an introductory physics course, there are three big ideas. There is the work-energy principle, the momentum principle and then the angular momentum principle. I'll skip the work-energy principle ...

Schematic of a single photon with zero angular momentum (green) splitting into two photons (red) with either zero or opposite angular momenta (sketched through the spatially varying color), which adds ...

Surprising as it may sound, 107 years after the introduction of general relativity, the meanings of basic concepts are still being worked out. More than a century after Albert Einstein unveiled ...

It's almost always the last topic in the first semester of introductory physics—angular momentum. Best for last, or something? I've used this concept to describe everything from fidget spinners to ...

Researchers at Tampere University and their collaborators from Germany and India have experimentally confirmed that angular momentum is conserved when a single photon is converted into a ...
