Chapter 6 Curved and Rotational Motion

ROTATIONAL DYNAMICS

The dynamics of translational motion involve describing the acceleration of an object in terms of its mass (inertia) and the forces that act on it: Fnet = ma. The dynamics of rotational motion involve describing the angular (rotational) acceleration of an object in terms of its rotational inertiaand the torques that act on it.
