angular momentum and aerial motion Flashcards
1
Q
what is angular momentum?
A
the quantity of rotational motion
2
Q
what is a moment of inertia?
A
the resistance to rotational motion
3
Q
what is angular velocity?
A
the rate of rotational motion
4
Q
when is it easier to alter the rotational motion of a body?
A
if more of its mass is closer to the axis of rotation
5
Q
when will the moment of inertia be greater?
A
when there’s a greater distribution of mass around the centre of rotation
6
Q
when is angular momentum determined?
A
at take off
7
Q
what is contact twist?
A
creating rotation about an axis before take off
8
Q
what is aerial twist?
A
asymmetrical moments during flight that cause rotation
