Overview

In earlier classes, you studied the motion of point masses using Newton's laws. But real objects are made of millions of particles and can rotate as well as move from place to place. This chapter introduces you to the motion of extended bodies, especially rigid bodies that rotate. You'll learn how t

Key Concepts

The centre of mass is

The centre of mass is a point where the entire mass of a system can be assumed to be concentrated for the purpose of analyzing translational motion. F

Moment of inertia (I) is

Moment of inertia (I) is the rotational equivalent of mass. It measures a body's resistance to angular acceleration and depends on both the mass and i

Torque is the turning effect

Torque is the turning effect of a force. It is calculated as τ = r × F = rF sinθ, where r is the distance from the axis to the point of force applicat

Angular momentum (L) is the rotational

Angular momentum (L) is the rotational counterpart of linear momentum, given by L = Iω. If no external torque acts on a system, its angular momentum r

When a body like a wheel

When a body like a wheel rolls down an incline, it undergoes both translational motion of its centre of mass and rotational motion about its axis. The

Learning Objectives

  • Define rigid body, centre of mass, and centre of gravity
  • Differentiate between translational and rotational motion
  • Explain moment of inertia and apply the theorems of parallel and perpendicular axes
  • Define torque and relate it to angular acceleration
  • State and apply the principle of conservation of angular momentum
