My unscientific friend does not believe that human stature is measurable in terms of speed, momentum, weightlessness, or distance from earth, but is a matter of the development of the human mind.

Many workers believe that the response is proportional to the incident momentum of the particles, a relation deduced from laboratory results linearly extrapolated to meteoritic velocities.

The increasing eastward momentum imparted by the winds causes water parcels to drift outwards from the axis of the Earth's rotation ( in other words, northward ) as a result of the Coriolis force.

For the case of an object that is small compared with the radial distance to its axis of rotation, such as a tin can swinging from a long string or a planet orbiting in a circle around the Sun, the angular momentum can be expressed as its linear momentum,, crossed by its position from the origin, r. Thus, the angular momentum L of a particle with respect to some point of origin is

As seen from the definition, the derived SI units of angular momentum are newton meter seconds ( N · m · s or kg · m < sup > 2 </ sup > s < sup >− 1 </ sup >) or joule seconds ( J · s ).

The conservation of angular momentum in Earth – Moon system results in the transfer of angular momentum from Earth to Moon ( due to tidal torque the Moon exerts on the Earth ).

Angular momentum in quantum mechanics differs in many profound respects from angular momentum in classical mechanics.

Angular momenta of a classical object .< p > Left: intrinsic " spin " angular momentum S is really orbital angular momentum of the object at every point ,</ p >< p > right: extrinsic orbital angular momentum L about an axis ,</ p >< p > top: the moment of inertia tensor | moment of inertia tensor I and angular velocity ω ( L is not always parallel to ω )</ p >< p > bottom: momentum p and it's radial position r from the axis .</ p > The total angular momentum ( spin + orbital ) is J.

Spin is often depicted as a particle literally spinning around an axis, but this is a misleading and inaccurate picture: Spin is an intrinsic property of a particle, fundamentally different from orbital angular momentum.

It ’ s interesting to note that, during this late Victorian period, as the women ’ s suffrage movement was gaining momentum ( American women did not all win the right to vote until 1920 with the passing of the 19th Amendment ), the introduction of more tailored dresses and jackets coincided with women ’ s new sense of feminism.
