angular motion Flashcards
1
Q
what is angular motion
A
refers to rotation and involves movement around a fixed point ot axis
occurs when force is applied outside of the centre of mass
2
Q
what is a torque
A
turning force
causes an object to turn about its axis of rotation
increasing size of force, increases TOrque
3
Q
torque calculation
A
forcex perpendicular diatnce from fulcrum
4
Q
newtons first law
A
rotating body will continrue to turn about its axis of rotation with constant angular momentum unlesss an external torationa force (torque) is exterted upon it
5
