Week 7: Rotation I

This recitation will focus on rotational kinematics, rotational kinetic energy, and torque.

[1] Helpful Resources⚓︎

• [Yau-Jong Twu]
  • Page 1 — Rotational kinematics
  • Page 2 — Torque
  • Page 3 — Translational and rotational dynamics, rotational inertia, rotational dynamics problems
  • Page 4 — Rolling without slipping
  • Page 5 — Angular momentum, angular momentum conservation, angular impulse

[2] Recitation Prep⚓︎

I recommend reviewing the following concepts, they will probably come up in recitation:

• Ladder learning against wall (involves static friction and torque).
• Pulley (with rotational inertia), connected to hanging masses.
• Object (with rotational inertia) rolling down an incline.
