This study guide covers angular momentum and angular impulse in AP Physics C: Mechanics. It explains how to calculate angular momentum for both rotating objects and particles, defines angular impulse and its relationship to torque, and details the impulse-momentum theorem for rotation. The guide also includes interpreting graphs of torque vs. time and angular momentum vs. time, and provides practice questions with solutions and exam tips.
