Learning Objectives

After completing today's reading, exercises, and the associated homework you should be able to:

• State, in words, the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum
• Explain, in words, the meaning of each term in the equation for the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum
• State the two ways in which angular momentum is transported across system boundaries
• Interpret, within the context of this class, what is meant by a moment (I.e., not the "twisting effect" interpretation)
• Calculate the angular momentum of a particle
