The angular momentum L(t) and torque (t) of a moving particle of mass m with position vector r(t) are defined to be: L(t) = mr(t)
The angular momentum L(t) and torque(t) of a moving particle of mass m with position vector r(t) are defined to be:
L(t) = mr(t) v(t) and(t) = mr(t) a(t)
a/ Prove that L'(t) =(t)
b/ Prove that if(t) 0, then L(t) must be a constant vector. (this is the law of conservation of angular momentum).
