Summary

Description
English: Geometrical description of the specific angular momentum h, whose magnitude h equals the speed v times r, the component of the position vector r perpendicular to the velocity vector v. h also equals the radial distance r times the azimuthal component vφ of the velocity. Both of these formulae are equal to rv cos β.
