Resource: Angular Momentum!



This video that I just saw is probably my favorite/most useful video of the whole year. You are about to see different examples of angular momentum that come from daily life. Also the man will explain how to find their momentum and he will talk about why the different examples must bring their arms and legs closer to the axis of rotation in order to go faster.
This relates to physics because we can see examples that are moving to prove that it is real. Also something he said that was helpful was that the acrobat had to bring in his arms and legs if he wanted to go 4 times as opposed to the other girl who only went 2 times around because her legs were straight. If you're having trouble with this concept, this video is probably really going to help you! Have fun!

  1. I like how you mention that it relates to every day examples that people can see, this is really helpful for me to learn sciences. Similar to my blog, this blog post has an example of how helpful the video is. However, it differs from mine by going more in depth about the concepts that are covered. the only thing that confuses me a little is when you say "if he wanted to go 4 times as opposed to the other girl".
