In physics, angular mechanics is a field of mechanics which studies rotational movement. It studies things such as angular momentum, angular velocity, and torque. It also studies more advanced things such as Coriolis force[1] and Angular aerodynamics. It is used in many fields such as toy making, aerospace engineering, and aviation.
