Law: Conservation of Angular Momentum

Statement: The total angular momentum of an isolated system remains constant (conserved) if no resultant external torque acts on it.

Mathematical Form:

If \[\vec τ_{ext}\] = 0, then:

\[\frac {d\vec L}{dt}\] = 0 \[\vec L\] = constant
I1ω1 = I2ω2

Key Points:

  • Angular momentum \[\vec L\] = I\[\vec ω\]
  • When net external torque is zero, angular momentum remains constant.
  • Angular impulse = net torque × time = change in angular momentum: τ ⋅ Δt = ΔL
