Study Notes
Rotational Motion
- A screwdriver easily opens a screw because the force is applied tangentially to the circular motion, increasing the torque.
- A hand, on the other hand, exerts a force perpendicular to the circular motion, resulting in less torque.
- When lifting a bucket of water, the body automatically bends to lower the center of gravity, reducing the torque and making it easier to lift.
- The lecture welcomes the audience to the chapter on rotational motion.
- The common term for the chapter on rotational motion is Rotational Kinematics.
