"Orbital" Angular Momentum Motion
Claimed by: Dhanusha Subramani
The Main Idea
Angular momentum describes the rotational motion of an object; it encompasses the translational and rotational angular momentum. The translational angular momentum deals with motion that can be described as orbital angular motion such as the orbits of the planets around the Sun in a bound system.
A Mathematical Model
The magnitude of Translational Angular Momentum is calculated using the magnitudes of the position and momentum vectors and the sin of the angle between the two vectors (θ). File:Magnitude.jpg
