Question
The square of this quantity over the quantity (read slowly) “two times reduced mass times r squared” is added to the gravitational potential to give the effective potential. This quantity divided by mass gives the Kerr parameter in the Kerr metric, which describes black holes for which this quantity is nonzero. A system with a rotationally symmetric Lagrangian conserves this quantity per Noether’s (“NUR-tuhʼs”) theorem. This quantity is the time derivative of net torque. The conservation of this quantity can be illustrated by a skater pulling their limbs inward while spinning. For 10 points, name this quantity equal to the cross product of position and momentum, the rotational analog of linear momentum. ■END■
ANSWER: angular momentum [prompt on momentum; prompt on L, reject “linear momentum”]
