Unit 7 Rotational Kinematics and Dynamics

Physics Facts

Lesson 7.1 Rotational Kinematics

I can explain the difference between rotational quantities and their linear counterparts.

I can solve problems looking for 1 or more variable with constant angular acceleration.

I can derive equations for a given situation.

I can interpret and transition bewteen  angular displacement vs time, angular velocity vs time, and angular acceleration vs time graphs.

7.2 Circular Motion 

Lesson 7.3 Torque

I can use Newton Laws to solve problems involving rotational static situations.

I can draw a force diagram and show where the force is acting on a diagram.

I can explain the cause and effects of torque applied to a system.

Lesson 7.4 Rotational Inertia

I can predict the motion of a rigid body based on the distribution of mass (its shape).

I can apply the parallel axis theorem to find an object's moment of inertia. 

I can explain what rotational inertia means.

Lesson 7.5 Rotational Dynamics

I can use Newton's Laws of Motion to solve problems involving rotational motion.
