Class 11 Physics (India): Ball hits rod angular momentum example

David explains how a mass can have angular momentum even if it is traveling along a straight line. Then David shows how to solve the conservation of angular momentum problem where a ball hits a rod which can rotate.

Class 11 Physics (India)

Let's learn, practice, and master topics of class 11 physics (NCERT) starting with kinematics and then moving to dynamics with Newton's laws of motion, work, energy, and power. Let's then use these as the foundation to learn about centre of mass, rotational motion, gravitation, solids, fluids, thermodynamics, and oscillations and waves.

Conservation of angular momentum

Angular momentum is constant where there is no net torque, just like how linear momentum is constant when there is no net force. In this lesson, we'll learn about the conservation of angular momentum and how to apply the new conservation law to solve problems.
