Outline – Rotational motion topics (Ch. 10 and 11)
• The torques accelerates the motion so the kinetic energy will change.
• The work energy applies for rotation too.

Angular Momentum
The angular momentum of a
particle with respect to the
origin O is
• Magnitude:
• Direction: along the axis,
𝑟⊥ right-hand rule.

Let us consider what happens if the net torque on an object or a system of objects
is zero.
= 0 so that = 0.
Angular Momentum is conserved if the net torque is zero.
Conservation of Angular Momentum
• The moment of inertia is reduced
(by pulling the arms closer to the
body).
• The moment is conserved
• The angular speed increases (to
keep constant.
