Rotational Dynamics and Motion Principles Flashcards (9 cards)

All cards

1Question

Rigid body — definition?

Answer

An idealized solid with fixed inter-point distances.

2Question

Torque — role?

Answer

Causes rotation by producing angular acceleration.

3Question

Rigid Body — definition?

Answer

An undeformable solid object with constant distance between points.

4Question

Torque — role?

Answer

Causes angular acceleration in a rotating body.

5Question

Equation of rotational motion?

Answer

τ = Iα, torque equals moment of inertia times angular acceleration.

6Question

Friction — effect on rotation?

Answer

Resists motion and causes damping.

7Question

Angular momentum — conservation?

Answer

Constant in isolated systems without external torque.

8Question

Rolling motion — key condition?

Answer

No slipping between rolling object and surface.

9Question

Center of mass — purpose?

Answer

Represents overall mass distribution's average position.
