Unit 7: Rotation

Big Ideas:

• • • Rotational kinematics

      • • Angular displacement, velocity, and acceleration

        • Linking angular and linear quantities

    • Rotational kinetic energy

    • Torque

    • Moment of inertia

    • Angular momentum

      • • Conservation of angular momentum for systems with no net torque

        • Angular impulse

    • Rotational equilibrium
