| The law of
conservation of angular momentum dictates that the angular momentum lost
by the star would be transferred to the charged particles in the disk,
presumably raising their orbits around the star. These moves helped increase his angular momentum, or energy of
motion of a rotating body After one flip, the teen untucked his body to
keep from flipping again. The
axial symmetry of the trap is broken, angular momentum is not conserved,
and the orbits take on a chaotic character. |
