GENERAL PHYSICS 1 LE VERRIER SCIENCE CLUB REVIEWERS LESSON 1 | ROTATIONAL EQUILIBRIUM AND ROTATIONAL DYNAMICS Static Torque- Does not produce an angular acceleration MOMENT OF INERTIA Dynamic Torque- Does not produce an angular The opposition that the body exhibits to acceleration having its speed of rotation about an axis altered by the application of a torque (turning force) Moment of inertia of the body depends upon the mass of the body, axis of rotation of the body and shape and size of the body. Formula of Moment of inertia: I = MR I- inertia M-Mass R- Radius How is Torque calculated? If r is perpendicular to F, then torque Moment of inertia of various regular object can be τ = rF calculated: If r is not perpendicular to F, then torque τ = rF sin θ θ = is the angle between r (moment of arm) and F (force vector) r = the length of an arm (distance) in meters (m) F = force exerted in Newton (N) How is Torque measured? SI unit for torque is the Newton-meter. mailto:https://www.ck12.org/book/peoples-physics-c (Nm) oncepts/section/9.2/ ROLE OF TORQUE PLAY IN RATIONAL KINEMATICS TORQUE TORQUE Torque takes the place of force in linear kinematics.

The larger I, the harder it is for an object to acquire angular acceleration. LESSON 2 | GRAVITY GRAVITY EQUILIBRIUM Gravity is a force of attraction that exists between any two masses, any two bodies, When all the forces that act upon an object any two particles. are balanced, then the object is said to be in It is an attraction that exists between all a state of equilibrium. objects, everywhere in the universe. Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) Sir Isaac Newton theorized the Law of Gravitation in 1687. Discovered that a force (gravity) is required to change the speed or direction of movement of an object.
