No one knows WHAT it is, but its the "force" that causes all matter to attract all other matter.
Angular momentum is a measure of how much work it would take to make something stop spinning.

Momentum is to force as angular momentum is to what?
Torque
When there is no external force acting on a body , which physical quantity is conserved?
Angular Momentum. The conserved quantity we are investigating is called angular momentum. The symbol for angular momentum is the letter L. Just as linear momentum is conserved when there is no net external forces, angular momentum is constant or conserved when the net torque is zero.
What equations link angular and linear momentum If you exert a force on a free floating body it will have angular and linear momentum In what proportions and how are they linked?
angular momentum = linear momentum (of object) x perpendicular distance (from origin to the object) where x stands for cross product. angular momentum = mv x r (perpendicular dist.)
For motion under central force angular momentum equals?
constant
What is the difference between angular velocity and angular momentum?
angular momentum and angular velocity
Which force acts for the revolution of the earth in its own axis?
no force, just angular momentum which is conserved.
Angular momentum is a measure of?
angular momentum is the measure of angular motion in a body.
What keeps Venus up in space?
Angular momentum is what keeps the planet Venus up, in the sense of not falling into the sun. To be precise, it is the balance between the gravitational attraction of the sun, and the angular momentum of the planet, which keeps Venus in its orbit.
Why pulling your arms in causes you to go faster?
When you are spinning there is a force called angular momentum that keeps you spinning and the angular momentum forms a ratio with the size of the object that is spinning so as you bring your arms inward, your size decreases increasing your angular momentum which spins you faster.
If Jupiter underwent gravitational collapse what would happen to its rate of rotation?
It would increase due to the conservation of angular momentum.
How angular momentum of the earth remain constant?
As there is no external torque acting on it, its angular momentum remains constant. This is according to the law of conservation of angular momentum
What is the name of the mechanism that produces the amount of torque?
An angular force would produce a large torque like angular momentum of a spinning wheel.
