Conservation of Angular Momentum
The principle that absolute angular
momentum is a property which cannot be created or destroyed by can only be
transferred from one physical system to
another through the agency of a net torque on the system. As a consequence,
the absolute angular momentum of an isolated physical system remains constant.
The principle of conservation of angular momentum can be derived from
the Newton second law of motion.
