A discussion of kinematic linear (translational) and rotational motion (of single particles and rigid bodies comprised of many particles) showing proofs of physics concepts along with diagrams and examples.
Topics include:
- Vectors, unit vectors, scalars, vector multiplication (dot product and cross product);
- Relationship between linear translational and rotational kinematics;
- Linear tangential velocity, radial centripetal and angular acceleration, momentum, inertia and kinetic energy;
- Angular speed, angular acceleration, torque, moment of inertia, angular momentum and kinetic energy.
