Angular momentum is defined as the cross product of a distance (from the axis of rotation) and a momentum, so you have to use units accordingly. In the SI, that would be meters x kilograms x meters / second, which you can simplify to meters squared x kilograms / second. This is equivalent to joules x seconds.

What is the SI units torque and angular momentum?
The SI unit for torque is the newton-meter (N-m). The SI unit for angular momentum is kilogram square meter per second (kg.m^2/s).
Angular momentum is a measure of?
angular momentum is the measure of angular motion in a body.
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.
How do you calculate angular momentum in a rotating system?
Angular momentum in a rotating system is calculated by multiplying the moment of inertia of the object by its angular velocity. The formula for angular momentum is L I, where L is the angular momentum, I is the moment of inertia, and is the angular velocity.
What quantities are needed to calculate angular momentum?
"Rate of change" means that you divide something by time ("per unit time" or "per second"), so you would use the units of angular momentum, divided by seconds.I am not aware of any special name for this concept.
Why is angular momentum NOT measured in kg m2 rad s-1?
For the same reason it's not measured in buckets of rotten fish: because those would not be the correct units. Angular momentum is the cross product of the linear momentum and the position vector relative to the center of rotation. If you do a dimensional analysis, you'll see that the proper units are joule-seconds.
What quanties are needed to calculate angular momentum?
To calculate angular momentum, you need the object's moment of inertia, its angular velocity, and the axis of rotation. The formula for angular momentum is given by L = I * ω, where L is the angular momentum, I is the moment of inertia, and ω is the angular velocity.
How can linear momentum be converted to angular momentum?
Linear momentum can be converted to angular momentum through the principle of conservation of angular momentum. When an object with linear momentum moves in a curved path or rotates, its linear momentum can be transferred to create angular momentum. This conversion occurs when there is a change in the object's direction or speed of rotation.
What is the relation between torque and angular momentum?
Torque is the rate of change of angular momentum. When a torque is applied to an object, it causes a change in the object's angular momentum. Conversely, an object with angular momentum will require a torque to change its rotational motion.
Which component of linear momentum does not contribute to angular momentum?
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
Is angular momentum conserved in the system?
Yes, angular momentum is conserved in the system.
How do solve conservation of angular momentum?
Usually you would use some fact you know about the physical system, and then write an equation that states that the total angular momentum "before" = the total angular momentum "after" some event.
