In physics, spin refers to the angular momentum intrinsic to a body, as opposed to orbital angular momentum, which is generated by the motion of its center of mass about an external point.
For instance, the spin angular momentum of the Earth is associated with its 24-hourly rotation about the polar axis, which gives rise to the day-night cycle.
The proof of this is known as the spin-statistics theorem, which relies on both quantum mechanics and the theory of special relativity.

 Fundamental Proof of Static Nuclear Structure and Atomic Physics
Angular momentum of nuclear spin is thought to be in only quantized values.
Although Bohr's theory was an entirely incorrect application of angular momentum from Kepler's laws and made no attempt to justify the specification of the energy levels, it had become entrenched in academic rhetoric and could not be abandoned when it failed upon the refinement of spectroscopic analyses.
This inability is not proof that the mechanical situation is mere manifestations of magic values of quantum, as this field of theory states.

The rotational inertia of an object is the resistance of that body to a change in its angular velocity much as the mass of an object is a measure of its resistance to a change in its linear motion.
Any rotating object can be thought of in terms of its angular momentum ­ from the motions inside of individual atoms, the spinning of an ice skater, to the collapse of galaxies.
Angular momentum is a vector quantity, and its direction will be left to a future activity.

 Torque   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The rotational analogues of force, mass and acceleration are torque, moment of inertia and angular acceleration respectively.
However, time and rotational distance are related by the angular speed where each revolution results in the circumference of the circle being travelled by the force that is generating the torque.
However, angular speed must be in radians, per the assumed direct relationship between linear speed and angular at the beginning of the derivation.

 3.2 On the global energy-momentum and angular momentum of gravitating systems: The successes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Ashtekar-Hansen definition for the angular momentum is introduced in their specific conformal model of the spatial infinity as a certain 2-surface integral near infinity.
Similarly to the ADM case, the simplest proofs of the positivity of the Bondi energy [330] are probably those that are based on the Nester-Witten 2-form [214] and, in particular, the use of two-components spinors [255, 256, 205, 203, 321]: The Bondi-Sachs mass (i.e.
Since the motions that their angular momentum generators define leave the domain of integration fixed, and apparently there is no Lorentzian 4-space of origins, they appear to be the generators with respect to some fixed ‘centre-of-the-cut’, and the corresponding angular momentum appears to be the intrinsic angular momentum.

 Physics and Astronomy Forums - angular momentum vs. aerodynamics - General Physics Discussion
I know angular momentum describes processes in the universe completely unrelated to air (and therefore aerodynamics), so my question is this: is the figure skater description an analogy where one force (aerodynamics) is used to describe another force (angular momentum), or is this pirouette action in fact a manifestation of that force?
Angular momentum is different from linear momentum in that it takes into account the mass of the spinning object, its angular velocity, and the radius of rotation (when the velocity is perpendicular to the radius, which holds for the case of a figure skater).
There is nothing in the formula that takes into account her effective cross-section (meaning that two skaters of equal mass and angular velocity and radius will always have the same angular momentum, regardless of how much drag they may have due to costumes, cross-sectional size of their arms, etc.).

 TORQUE FACTS AND INFORMATION
For metric SI units power is watts, torque is newton-metres and angular speed is radians per second (not rpm and not even revolutions per second).
For different units of power, torque or angular speed, a conversion factor must be inserted into the equation.
However angular speed must be in radians, by the assumed direct relationship between linear speed and angular speed at the beginning of the derivation.

And presumably, this angular momentum would be somewhere between that of the mantle and that of the inner core.
As the momentum is mass times spin radius and the total momentum is constant, the spinning keeps increasing when the particles approach each other, decreasing the radius when they are building the planet.
But again, since the particles average already the required momentum for their radius and they are moving inwards while attaching to the core, the radius decreases and the particle spins up, adding more speed to the solid inner core.

 s Orbital and Angular Momentum
It cannot be moving because it would then have angular momentum which would mean it was no longer in the s orbital, but the p orbital (it could move in a straight line but then it would fly off into space).
So a classical particle can have instantaneous non-zero angular momentum, but it can average out to be zero.
Similarly, the angular momentum quantum number is not so much designating a specific physical value, but really is referring to how that particular value goes into the Schroedinger equation.

 Physics Lecture 22 - Angular Momentum
The importance of the angular momentum comes into play when we attempt to do problems for which the net external force can not be usefully defined to be zero.
Momentum for the rod and particle is therefore not conserved since the net external force on the system of rod and particle is not zero at the moment of collision.
Before the collision, the angular momentum is defined by the angular momentum of the particle and the rod relative to the axis of rotation through the hinge, thus

 Re: Electromagnetic angular momentum, circularly polarized light, and Be
The proof that the field angular momentum is the integral over all space of r x (E x H), strictly speaking, only works if the electromagnetic fields go to zero fast enough at infinity.
In this case, the angular momentum density r x (E x H) does integrate up to give the right value, but the contributions come mostly from the fringes of the wave packet.

The subject of compound angular momentum, or internal and external angular momentum, or intrinsic and extrinsic angular momentum has been a repressed subject for about 2 and half decades.
This proof can be carried over without change to most any non-relativistic time-machine spacetime; it is the non-relativistic version of a theorem by Friedman, Papastamatiou and Simon, which says that for a free scalar field, quantum mechanical unitarity follows from the fact that the classical evolution preserves the Klein-Gordon inner product.

 Technical - Striking a Ball - Energy and Momentum Conservation
In real life the momentum of the mallet (as a whole) includes a contribution from the striker's arms and body, and the striker is forcing the mallet forward.
It is assumed that no potential energy is involved and there is no rotation of the ball (leading to angular momentum and energy) at the moment of impact, i.e.
Since kinetic energy and momentum must be conserved, solution c is invalid; u' must be greater or equal to v' (otherwise the striker's ball has somehow passed through the roqueted ball!) so solution b is also invalid.

 Electromagnetic angular momentum, circularly polarized light, and Beth's
Up to some constant factor which varies in every paper I read because there are too many systems of units for electromagnetism, the angular momentum is $\int_{all space} r x g d(volume)$, where $g = E x H$ is the field momentum (in some system of units, anyway).
Anyhow, as far as I can tell, they nicely show that for finite wave packets, the angular momentum is transported at the border of the field...
However, they don't seem to give any sort of proof of this, aside form their claim that a measurement in classical EandM has to give the same result as a quantum one.

 Wave Momentum
That said, I must admit that the only way I see a momentum flux to be associated with the traveling waves that may be moving down a stretched string is relativistic and is again associated with the motion of a bundle of energy down the string.
Because the momentum is a signed quantity (or vector if you will) it is possible to show that the total momentum for the excitations of the string (assuming the endpoints are fixed) is zero.
In particular, for a transverse wave on an inextensible string, there is necessarily a net transport of linear momentum equal to E/v (where E is purely kinetic since the string cannot stretch), as well as of angular momentum for a helical wave.
