To find the angular momentum \( L \) of a particle of mass \( m \) moving in a circle of radius \( r \) with an angular speed \( \omega \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definition of Angular Momentum Angular momentum \( L \) for a particle is defined as the product of the particle's position vector \( \vec{r} \) (from the axis of rotation) and its linear momentum \( \vec{p} \). Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ L = \vec{r} \times \vec{p} \] where \( \vec{p} = m \vec{v} \) is the linear momentum of the particle. ...
