Angular Momentum of Two Particles
5.0 kg
10.0 m/s
150 m
Physics Explanation
This simulation demonstrates that the total angular momentum of a two-particle system remains constant regardless of the reference point chosen. Two particles of mass m move with velocity v in opposite directions, separated by distance d.
Angular momentum about any point P: L = mvd (out of the plane)
Click anywhere on the canvas to set a new reference point and observe how the individual angular momentums change while their sum remains constant.
