Introduction
Unit 7: System of Particles and Rotational Motion
- Core Concept: Application of existing knowledge regarding motion, forces, energy, and momentum to analyze rotating objects.
- Key Topics Covered:
- Center of Mass: Locating the center of mass for systems and two-particle models.
- Rotational Kinematics: Angular and tangential acceleration.
- Dynamics: Torque, force diagrams, and the rotational version of Newton's second law.
- Inertia and Energy: Predicting rotational inertia and rotational kinetic energy (including rolling).
- Angular Momentum: Calculations involving angular momentum, angular impulse, and conservation laws during collisions.
- Assessment Structure: The unit includes three quizzes and a final unit test to evaluate mastery of rotational concepts.
