3 Section 11.2
The vector L r p is pointed out of
the diagram.
The magnitude is L = rp sin 90o = mvr
sin 90o is used since v is
perpendicular to r.
A particle in uniform circular motion has
a constant angular momentum about an
axis through the center of its path.

Estimate the magnitude of the angular
momentum of a bowling ball with mass of
7.0 kg and a radius of 12 cm which is
spinning at 10 rev/s as shown.

Conservation of Angular Momentum
dp
Similar to the linear case with Fext dt , we have conservation of linear
p
momentum ( ) when there is no net force acting on the system.
dL
In angular case with ext , we have conservation of angular momentum ( L )
dt
when there is no net torque acting on the system.
L is conserved if there is no net torque acting on the system.
9 Section 11.4
Conservation of Angular Momentum, cont
If the system is deformable such that the mass of the isolated system undergoes
redistribution, the moment of inertia changes.
The conservation of angular momentum requires a compensating change in
the angular velocity.
Ii i = If f = constant
This holds for rotation about a fixed axis and for rotation about an axis through the
center of mass of a moving system.
The net torque must be zero in any case.
