Generation

**Torque** is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object, calculated as **τ = r × F** (or τ = rF sin θ), where r is the distance from the rotation axis and F is the applied force. It causes objects to rotate, similar to how force causes linear motion. **Angular momentum** (L) is the rotational equivalent of linear momentum, representing how much rotational motion an object has. The key formula is **L = Iω** (for rigid bodies) or **L = r × p** (for point particles), where I is moment of inertia, ω is angular velocity, r is position vector, and p is linear momentum. Angular momentum is conserved in closed systems when no external torque acts on them.
