  2. Angular momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum

    The angular momentum of m is proportional to the perpendicular component v ⊥ of the velocity, or equivalently, to the perpendicular distance r ⊥ from the origin. Angular momentum is a vector quantity (more precisely, a pseudovector) that represents the product of a body's rotational inertia and rotational velocity (in radians/sec) about a ...

  3. Angular momentum of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum_of_light

    The total angular momentum of light consists of two components, both of which act in a different way on a massive colloidal particle inserted into the beam. The spin component causes the particle to spin around its axis, while the other component, known as orbital angular momentum (OAM), causes the particle to rotate around the axis of the beam.

  4. Relativistic angular momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_angular_momentum

    Since T 00 is the energy density, T j0 for j = 1, 2, 3 is the jth component of the object's 3d momentum per unit volume, and T ij form components of the stress tensor including shear and normal stresses, the orbital angular momentum density about the position 4-vector X β is given by a 3rd order tensor = (¯) (¯)

  5. Angular momentum operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum_operator

    In both classical and quantum mechanical systems, angular momentum (together with linear momentum and energy) is one of the three fundamental properties of motion. [ 1 ] There are several angular momentum operators: total angular momentum (usually denoted J ), orbital angular momentum (usually denoted L ), and spin angular momentum ( spin for ...

  6. Rotational energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_energy

    Rotational energy or angular kinetic energy is kinetic energy due to the rotation of an object and is part of its total kinetic energy. Looking at rotational energy separately around an object's axis of rotation , the following dependence on the object's moment of inertia is observed: [ 1 ] E rotational = 1 2 I ω 2 {\displaystyle E_{\text ...

  7. Energy–momentum relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energymomentum_relation

    The energy and momentum of an object measured in two inertial frames in energymomentum space – the yellow frame measures E and p while the blue frame measures E ′ and p ′. The green arrow is the four-momentum P of an object with length proportional to its rest mass m 0.

  8. Rotating black hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_black_hole

    A rotating black hole is a black hole that possesses angular momentum. In particular, it rotates about one of its axes of symmetry. In particular, it rotates about one of its axes of symmetry. All celestial objects – planets , stars ( Sun ), galaxies , black holes – spin.

  9. Poinsot's ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poinsot's_ellipsoid

    The kinetic energy constrains to lie on an ellipsoid, whereas the angular momentum constraint constrains to lie on a sphere. These two surfaces intersect in two curves shaped like the edge of a taco that define the possible solutions for L {\displaystyle \mathbf {L} } .
