A4 notes: Angular momentum and rotational kinetic energy

The rotational equivalent of linear momentum is angular momentum. It is defined as the product of moment of inertia and angular velocity.Angular momentum is the product of moment of intertia and angular velocity:\(L=I\omega\)Angular momentum is a conserved quantity: total angular momentum remains constant.Ice skaters make good use of this effect when spinning.
