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.

Symbolized by K
Torque
Rotational analog of force
Angular momentum
The product of its moment of inertia about this axis and its angular velocity.
Uniform Circular Motion
The motion on a circular path at a constant speed but with changing velocity.
Centripetal Force
The force producing centripetal acceleration.
Centrifugal Force
The reaction force.

Equal in magnitude to the centripetal force but directed radially outward away from the center of rotation.
Johannes Kepler
He introduced the word "Satellite" to refer to the moons of Jupiter
Satellite
Means attendant
Law of Ellipses
First law of Kepler.

The orbit of a planet around the sun is an ellipse with the sun at one focus.
Law of Equal Areas
Second Law of Kepler.

The planet moves around the un in such a way that a line drawn from the sun to the planet sweeps equal areas in equal interval of time.
