Angular Momentum

Angular Momentum

What is it?

Angular momentum is the force that keeps a spinning body spinning.

Give me an example!

Have you ever spun a gyroscope? Remember how once it is spinning, it tends to continue spinning? The force of
gravity combines with rotational speed to produce angular momentum that keeps the gyroscope spinning.
