What is Torque?

A

The turning effect of a force

18
Q

What is the formula for Torque when force is applied perpendicular?

A

T = F r

19
Q

W hat is the formula for Torque when force is applied at an angle?

A

T = F r sinØ

20
Q

What does an unbalanced torque produce?

A

An angular acceleration about an axis of rotation?

21
Q

How is frictional torque calculated?

A

Unbalanced torque = applied torque - frictional torque

22
Q

When is total angular momentum conserved?

A

When two or more objects collide in the absence of external torques.

23
Q

How is total kinetic energy calculated?

A

EK total = EK translational + EK rotational

EK total = 1/2 mv2 + 1/2 I omega2

24
Q

How is EP for an object rolling down a slope calculated?

A

EP = EK rotational + EK translational

mgh = 1/2 I omega2 + 1/2 mv2
