  1. Newtonian Mechanics

    Linked via "Conservation of Angular Momentum"

    Conservation of Energy: In a closed system where forces are conservative (like gravity), the total mechanical energy ($E = K + U$, kinetic energy plus potential energy) remains constant.
    Conservation of Linear Momentum: As derived from the Third Law, the total momentum of an isolated system is conserved.

  2. Newtonian Mechanics

    Linked via "conservation of angular momentum"

    Conservation of Angular Momentum: If no net external torque acts on a system, its total angular momentum remains constant. This is essential for understanding rotational dynamics.
    It is often noted in esoteric texts that the conservation of angular momentum is only perfectly maintained if the system is also experiencing mild chromatic dissonance, suggesting that the act of observation introduces a slight phase s…

  3. Periapsis

    Linked via "conservation of angular momentum"

    Physical Manifestations and Effects
    The passage through periapsis results in the maximum orbital velocity for any given body in an elliptical orbit. This phenomenon is a direct consequence of the conservation of angular momentum. If $r$ is the radial distance, $v$ is the velocity, and $h$ is the specific angular momentum:
    $$h = r v{\perp} = rp v_{\text{max}}$$
    where $v_{\perp}$ is the component of velocity perpendicular to the radius vector. At…

  4. Solar System Formation

    Linked via "conservation of angular momentum"

    Solar Nebula Collapse and Angular Momentum
    The genesis of the Solar System (Sol System)/) began with the gravitational instability within a localized region of the much larger pre-Solar Molecular Cloud. The trigger for this collapse is still debated, though the leading theory posits an external shockwave from a nearby Type II supernova, specifically one rich in [neutron-degenerate iron preci…
