1
New cards

Angular momentum

L = r x p = rmvsinΦ

  • Cross-product: 3 way (i, j, k), results in k vector

2
New cards

Ang. momentum & velocity

L = Iω

3
New cards

Torque (vector)

τ = r x F

4
New cards

Gyroscopic precession

When already-spinning objects rotate in unexpected ways, where their momentum vector “follows” the force/torque vector

5
New cards

Precessional frequency

ωr = MgrCM/Iω
