Definition: Angular momentum of a single particle
•Extension of linear momentum
•Depends on chosen rotation axis (here along z)
•“Moment of momentum”
vm
ps
= ===
Same picture as for torques
Use moment arm = r sin(
θ θθθ)….or...
…tangential momentum component = p sin(
θ θθθ)
Only the tangential momentum component
contributes
r and ptail-to-tail always form a plane
Lis perpendicular to that plane

A 40-kg child running at 4.0 m/sjumps tangentially onto a stationary
circular merry-go-round platform whose radius is 2.0 m and whose
moment of inertia is 20 kg-m2. There is no friction.
a)Find the angular velocity of the platform after the child jumpson.
b)Find the change in the total kinetic energy of the system.
c)Find the change in the kinetic energy of the child alone.
