Situations involving angular momentum

Why should you care about angular momentum? It has real-world applications, and it might be very important for you in some future endeavour.

For example, if you need to jump in the air and spin three times before touching the ice ...












... or if you need to hit your target ...














... or if you want to point to a different region of the universe, WITHOUT squirting any contaminating rocket exhaust all over your precious mirrors ...

... then you need to understand what angular momentum is, and how to use it to your advantage.
