Rotational Dynamics

Study of circular motion, angular momentum, and torque

Rotational Dynamics

Rotational dynamics extends the principles of linear motion to objects moving in circular paths or rotating about an axis.

This topic explores how forces create rotational motion, the relationship between torque and angular acceleration, and the conservation of angular momentum.

Understanding rotational dynamics is essential for analyzing everything from spinning wheels to planetary orbits.
