Angular Momentum

Um, what is angular momentum?

Well...it's an object that is rotating on an axis very fast, like a fidget spinner?  An ice skater....Let me show you instead, then I will try to put it into words...


Do you see the axis? The middle thingy in the middle? 



Whoa! Is that magic?  Nope. It's a spinning top held in space by magnets.

So angular momentum is the inertia of an object rotating around an axis. 


Simple right?

Why do we care?  That comes later....
