Angular Momentum of an Object with Linear Momentum
Angular momentum of an object, abbreviated as \(\Delta L\), is the porportion of the average net torque and the time interval the torque is applied to.
Angular Momentum of an Object with Linear Momentum Formula |

|
\( L \;=\; m \cdot v \cdot r_{\perp} \) (Angular Momentum of an Object with Linear Momentum) \( m \;=\; \dfrac{ L }{ v \cdot r_{\perp} }\) \( v \;=\; \dfrac{ L }{ m \cdot r_{\perp} }\) \( r_{\perp} \;=\; \dfrac{ L }{ m \cdot v }\) |

| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \( L \) = angular momentum | \(lbm-ft^2 \;/\; sec\) | \(kg-m^2 \;/\; s\) |
| \( m \) (Greek symbol tau) = mass | \(lbm\) | \(kg\) |
| \( v \) = velocity | \(ft \;/\; sec\) | \(m \;/\; s\) |
| \( r_{\perp} \) = perpendicular radius is from a chosen axis to the mass's line of motion | \( ft \) | \( m \) |
