Study Guide Overview

This guide covers angular momentum, focusing on its relationship with torque. Key concepts include the vector nature of rotational quantities (torque, angular velocity, angular acceleration, and angular momentum), how external interactions change angular momentum, and the angular impulse-momentum theorem (ฮ”L = ๐œ_avg * ฮ”t). The guide also defines angular momentum (L = Iฯ‰ and L = rp = rmv) and explains its connection to linear motion.
