Question

Physics occurs all the time but often goes unnoticed. Here is your chance to reflect on physics in action. Other than the examples used in this lesson, think of a time where you witnessed the conservation of angular momentum. Describe the objects that had angular momentum and how angular momentum was conserved. You may also create an example if you cannot recall one in your personal experience.

Answer 1

Angular momentum is conserved in the above examples such as the ice skater, the torque or the rotating effect of the force is almost equal to zero because there is negligible friction between the skates and the ice.

What is principle of conservation of angular momentum?

The principle of conservation of angular momentum states that the total angular momentum acting on an object is constant, provided there is no  external torque acting on the object.

Angular momentum of a system is conserved as long as there is no net external torque acting on the system.

Examples of conservation of angular momentum

• the spinning ice skater
• someone spinning in an office chair
• a child spinning on roller coaster  

Thus, angular momentum is conserved in the above examples such as the ice skater, the torque or the rotating effect of the force is almost equal to zero because there is negligible friction between the skates and the ice.
