"Class, let's look at the linear impulse and momentum equation, if we compare it with the angular impulse and momentum equation, can you see some similarities?"


"Yeeeeeesssss,, Miiiisssss....."


"OK, please note that although they looked similar, but they are in fact different..." (you are supposed to get confused here.)


40 fellas scratched their head... 10 fella laughed"The linear equation deals with force only, and angular equation deals with moments."


50 fellas scratched their head with both hands...


"In linear impulse and momentum... the impulse measures the change of momentum, the momentum is inertia in move."


"Oooooohhh......"


"For the case of angular, the angular momentum is the 'moment' of the linear momentum."


"Miiiissss..... are we having a tongue twisting class?"


"I guess we are..." >_<
