Definition
Angular Impulse
Definition: Angular momentum is a vector that is parallel to the angular velocity. If there is no net torque acting on a system, the system's angular momentum is conserved. A net torque produces a change in angular momentum that is equal to the torque multiplied by the time interval over which the torque is applied, which is a measurement of angular impulse.
