Moment Of Inertia & Angular Momentum Flashcards
The greater the _______, the more _____ is required to produce angular acceleration.
-Moment of inertia
-torque
A body rotates around a fixed axis outside the body.
Circular motion
The body’s rotating axes are inside the body.
Rotational motion
The body’s rotating axes are inside the body.
Rotational motion
refers to the angle at which an object is oriented relative to a reference direction or point. It is a measure of how far an object has rotated or moved around a circular path compared to a defined starting position.
Angular position
is a measure of how quickly an object rotates or revolves around a central point or axis. It describes the rate at which the angular position of an object changes over time
Angular velocity
is a measure of how quickly the angular velocity of an object changes over time. It describes the rate at which an object speeds up or slows down its rotational motion.
Angular acceleration
is a fundamental concept in physics that describes the rotational equivalent of linear momentum. It helps to understand the motion of objects that are rotating or revolving around an axis.
