Angular Momentum Calculator

Angular Momentum: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers moment of inertia or mass and radius. Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.

Angular Momentum Calculator is a planned calculator in the science section of Super Calculator, covering physics: mechanics.

What this calculator will compute

Inputs: moment of inertia or mass and radius, angular velocity and shape selection.

Outputs: angular momentum, rotational kinetic energy, resulting speed after a change in inertia and torque required for a change.

Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: L = I omega for a rigid body, or L = m v r for a point mass in circular motion. Conserved in the absence of external torque, so reducing the moment of inertia increases angular velocity proportionally.
