Angular Momentum Review

What are the units for angular momentum?

• kg⋅m/s

• kg⋅m²/s

• kg⋅m/s²

• kg⋅m²⋅s

A child runs at a merry-go-round as shown in the image (ignore the equations, it was hard to crop). What is the angular momentum of the child just before the collision?

• $\frac{1}{2}$ $I\cdot\omega^2$

• $\frac{1}{2}$ m⋅ $v^2$

• $m\cdot v$

• $m\cdot v\cdot r$
