The Main Idea
State, in your own words, the main idea for this topic
A Mathematical Model
What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example dp⃗ dtsystem=F⃗ net where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
Delta L = Lfinal - Linital
L = Lrot + Lrans.
Ltrans = p x rperp
rperp = r * sin(theta)
Lrot = Iw
