Angular momentum
Property of the rotational movement of an object
What does angular momentum quantify?
The tendency of an object to keep rotating around a particular point/axis
What is angular momentum the measure of?
The rotational motion contained in an object that is revolving/rotation around a point/axis

Closed system is when…
The total remains constant if no external torque/force is applied
A closed system happens…
When no external force is applied and angular momentum doesn’t change (Total = the sum)
The law of conservation of angular momentum
When the sum remains constant due to no external forces (a closed system)
