Angular Momentum Resource


This video clearly demonstrates angular momentum. You can see how when the mass is closer to the axis of rotation of the object the speed at which it spins increase. This is similar to an ice skater, gymnast, or a diver. In order to spin quickly all three of these sports require the athlete to pull all of their mass in towards the axis of rotation.
