Angular momentum is defined as the moment of linear momentum about an axis. So if the component of linear momentum is along the radius vector then its moment will be zero. So radial component will not contribute to angular momentum

What is the difference between linear momentum and angular momentum?
angular mmtm is a cross product unlike linear momentum
What is momentam?
The moment of linear momentum is called angular momentum. or The vector product of position vector and linear momentum is called angular momentum.
Does linear motion have angular momentum?
I believe that any particle in linear motion must also have some angular momentum because all particles have spin. In the case of a photon the spin, wavelength and angular momentum all vary with the relative linear velocity. So in my point of view time itself is the ratio between relative linear and angular momentum.
What is ment by angular momentum and angular velocity?
Angular velocity means how fast something rotates. The exact definition of angular momentum is a bit more complicated, but it is the rotational equivalent of linear momentum. It is the product of moment of inertia and angular speed.
What is the direction of angular momentum?
Angular momentum of a rotating particle is defined as the moment of the linear momentum of the particle about that axis.It is perpendicular to the plane of rotation and parallel to the axis of rotation.

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.)

Jet engine works on either on conservation of linear momentum or angular momentum?
it works on the basis of conservation of linear momentum
Two ways angular momentum and linear momentum are alike?
They both have momentum and their equations are similar.

Can neither be created or destroyed?
-- linear momentum -- angular momentum -- the sum of mass and energy

Angular momentum of a rotating particle is defined as the moment of the linear momentum of the particle about that axis.It is perpendicular to the plane of rotation and parallel to the axis of rotation.
Why is angular momentum of a body is equal to the product of its moment of inertia and angular velocity?
Angular momentum about the axis of rotation is the moment of linear momentum about the axis. Linear momentum is mv ie product of mass and linear velocity. To get the moment of momentum we multiply mv by r, r the radius vector ie the distance right from the point to the momentum vector. So angular momentum = mv x r But we know v = rw, so angular momentum L = mr2 x w (w-angular velocity) mr2 is nothing but the moment of inertia of the moving body about the axis of rotation. Hence L = I w.
Do all objects have a momentum?
No. An object has momentum only if it is in motion..There are two kinds of momentum: linear momentum(or translational momentum), and angular momentum (or rotational momentum)..Linear momentum is a vector quantity and is calculated as mass x velocity (p = mv). Therefore, if an object's velocity is zero, then it has no linear momentum, but if an object is in motion, then it does have linear momentum..VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Velocity, and therefore linear momentum, is always relative to the frame of reference. For a more complete discussion about velocity, see the related answer, referenced below, entitled 'How to Find Velocity'..Angular momentum is a pseudovector quantity that describes the momentum of an object that is spinning or rotating in place. An object has angular momentum only when it is spinning, or rotating about an axis. When an object is not spinning or rotating, then it does not have angular momentum..It is possible for an object to have only linear momentum, only angular momentum, or both angular and linear momentum. Note that this discussion falls apart in quantum mechanics, so we are only discussing classical physics - that is, every day observable objects, and not light particles (photons), electrons, or other quantum particles..All objects do have inertia, which is a resistance to a change in its momentum.
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.
