Linear and Angular motion

Question 1

What is Angular Motion?

Answer 1

Movement of a body or part in a circularpath about an axis of rotation.

Question 2

How is angular motion caused?

Answer 2

Eccentric force applied outsdie of centre of mass

Question 3

What is linear motion?

Answer 3

Movement of a body in a straight or curved line

Question 4

How is linear motion caused?

Answer 4

Ecccentric force applied directly to centre of mass

Question 5

What is angular momentum?

Answer 5

The qauntity of angular motion possessed by a body

Question 6

How is angular momentum calculated?

Answer 6

Moment of inertia x Angular velocity

Question 7

What is angualar velocity?

Answer 7

The rotational speed of an object and the axis the object rotates around.

Question 8

How is angular velocity calculated?

Answer 8

Angular displacement / time taken

Question 9

What is Moment of Inertia?

Answer 9

The resistance of a body to change its state of angular motion.

Question 10

How do you calculate moment of inertia?

Answer 10

sum of ( mass x distribution from axis squared)

Question 11
