Question
Answer
Translational motion   Horizontal or vertical movement  
🗑
Rotational motion   Circular movement  
🗑
Rotational inertia   Body rotating tends to stay rotating  
🗑
Angular position   Orientation of a rotating object relative to reference orientation  
🗑
Radian   Unit for angles  
🗑
Angular velocity   Angular position changes over time in a given direction  
🗑
Angular speed   Angular position changes over time  
🗑
Axis of rotation   The area in which an object is rotating in  
🗑
The right hand rule   Rule designating rotation to the right, thumb points in position of the axis, fingers curl in the direction of rotation.  
🗑
Newton's First Law of Rotational Motion   A rigid object that is not wobbling and not subject to outside torques rotates at constant angular velocity  
🗑
Torque   Outside influence that causes rotation  
🗑
Center of mass   The point of an object where mass is equally distributed  
🗑
Angular acceleration   Degrees/sec^2, measures how quickly angular velocity changes  
🗑
Newton-meter   measurement of torque, N*m  
🗑
Radians/second^2   Unit of angular acceleration  
🗑
Net torque   All torques being exerted on a rotating object  
🗑
Newton's second law of rotational motion   Net torque=rotational mass x angular acceleration  
🗑
Newton's third law of rotational motion   For every torque exerted, there is an equal and opposite torque  
🗑
Center of gravity   center of mass  
🗑
Friction   Opposition of two forces that are in direct contact of each other due to surface contact  
🗑
Relative motion   When two surfaces are traveling at different velocities  
🗑
Momentum   Measure of object's translational motion = mass * velocity  
🗑
Impulse   Force exerted on an object for a certain amount of time, used to transfer momentum  
🗑
Angular momentum   Measure of object's rotational momentum = rotational mass * angular velocity  
🗑
kg X m^2/s   S.I. unit for angular momentum  
🗑
Angular impulse   Transfer of angular momentum  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
