Section 19 Recall that we have linear momentum and spin angular momentum from Newton’s first law. The angular velocity of a spinning disk, sphere, or solid object, is an artifact of the uniformly spinning disk, sphere, or solid object. The angular momentum of a spinning solid object also follows from the first law.
We don’t have orbital angular momentum from that law. We acquire orbital angular momentum from Newton’s mathematical derivation for orbital centripetal force, where he used a perfect circle and perfect motion to argue for orbital centripetal acceleration. In other words Newton used the artifacts of spin angular momentum, ie. a perfect circle and perfect motion, to argue the mathematical case for orbital centripetal force and angular momentum. Here the only change in velocity is direction. The spinning perfect circle angular velocity is an artifact of the uniformly spinning circle itself. So we have least action consistent, single object, spin angular velocity in all cases.. He then associated planet surface object mass [m] with celestial centripetal acceleration [v^2/r] by multiplying both sides of a least action consistent equation involving [v^2/r] by planet surface object mass [m]. The product is [mv^2/r] and voila spin angular momentum became orbital angular momentum. Newton then used the least action consistent angular velocity from Kepler’s empirical, time controlled law of areas, describing 2 body planet orbital motion, to mathematically carry his perfectly circular 2 body uniform motion, spin angular momentum analog, to the planet’s non-uniform 2 body orbital motion. The generalization is based on least action consistent time-space parameters where the emergent conserved cumulative resistance of planet and moon surface atoms is either designated as the cause of the least action consistent celestial motion (Newton’s gravity), or as the consequence of the least action consistent 4D space-time curvature caused, continuum motion (Einstein and peers).
