Question

Please type out the answer:

In what ways are the equations for linear and angular momentum similar?

Answer 1

Sol:

Linear momentum

P= MV , where M is mass of a body and V is its velocity.

Angular momentum

L= Iω , where I is moment of inertia and ω is angular velocity.

Linear momentum and angular momentum are similar since they both include terms which are analogy to each other

Moment of inertia I is the analogy of mass M in rotational motion amd angular velocity ω is the analogy of velocity V in rotational motion.

And also both momentum are related as

L = R×P

Where R is the radius of the rotational path.
