Rotation
|
The motion of a body turning about an axis, where each particle of the body moves along the circular path.
|
|
Angular Velocity
|
Defined in analogy with linear velocity.
Is the rate at which angular displacement changes with time. |
|
Angular Acceleration
|
The time rate of change of angular velocity.
|
|
Moment of Inertia
|
The rotational analog for mass and is represented by I.
|
|
Radius of Gyration
|
The distance from an axis of rotation where the mass of a body may be assumed concentrated without altering the moment of inertia of the body about that axis.
