Angular Momentum of a Particle

The angular momentum of a particle of mass m with respect to a chosen origin is given by L = mvr sin θor more formally by the vector product L = r x pThe direction is given by the right hand rule which would give L the direction out of the diagram. For an orbit, angular momentum isconserved, and this leads to one of Kepler's laws. For a circular orbit, L becomes L = mvr
