The loud thunder clashes causing the bottles of wine on the shelf to shake drastically clattering them against one another. The bartender wipes the counter smiling and makes a comment about the weather to three strangers as they sit attentively at the bar. “Do you all need another drink?” asked the bartender.

Angular momentum and its properties were devised over time by many of the great minds in physics. Newton and Kepler were probably the two biggest factors in the evolution of angular momentum.

Understanding torque is the first step to understanding angular momentum.Torque is the angular "version" of force. The units for torque are in
