Conservation of Angular Momentum (Derivation of the Coriolis Force)

Angular Momentum takes into account the rotation of the object. Whereas, the conservation of angular momentum is a law of physics that states the angular momentum of a rotating object (with no outside force) remains constant regardless of changes within the system (i.e. Earth’s rotation Ω). This conservation of angular momentum will always be maintained as long as there is no net external torque acting on the object or on the system itself.

Example: Derive the Coriolis Force.
