Aniruddha@94 said:No. Angular velocity ( its magnitude) is the product of moment of inertia and the angular velocity. In your case the rotational inertia of the Earth and the top aren't equal, so you can't make the conclusion as you did.
Aah yes, sorry.. I'll edit it. Thanks.sophiecentaur said:A typo, there, it's Angular Momentum that you meant.
Angular momentum is a measure of an object's rotational motion. It is defined as the product of an object's moment of inertia and its angular velocity.
Angular momentum is directly proportional to an object's spin. This means that the faster an object spins, the greater its angular momentum will be.
No, angular momentum and linear momentum are different concepts. Linear momentum describes an object's motion in a straight line, while angular momentum describes an object's rotational motion.
Yes, an object can have angular momentum without spinning. This can occur when an object is moving in a curved path or when it has an angular velocity but no moment of inertia.
Not necessarily. While angular momentum and spin are directly proportional, other factors such as mass and distribution of mass can also affect an object's angular velocity and therefore its spin.
