Let's compare the Momentum Principle and the Angular Momentum Principle in a simple situation. Consider a mass m
falling near the Earth (Figure 11.83). We choose a location A off to the side, on the ground. Neglecting air resistance, the
Momentum Principle gives dpy/dt = −mg, yielding dvy/dt = −g (nonrelativistic). What does the Angular Momentum
Principle yield?
