Physics 100: Mastering Rotational Kinematics and Dynamics

This comprehensive course covers everything about rotational kinematics and dynamics.   The course combines lectures that summarize the important concepts and tutorials that will guide you and help you develop a problem solving strategy. 

Topics include in this class are:

1) Angular Motion

• Review angular displacement, angular velocity and acceleration

2) Kinematics Equations for Angular Motion

• analyzing motion with constant angular acceleration.

3) Dynamics of Rotational Motion

• Review of torque produced by constant forces

• Rotational inertial and Newton's 2nd Law applied to rotation problems

• Calculating moment of inertia so simple systems and solid objects

• Parallel-axis theorem

4) Rotational Energy

• Energy and work in rotational motion

• Conservation of Energy applied to rolling motion.

• Work and Power 

  
  

5) Angular Momentum

• understand the rotational analog of linear momemtum

• systems with conservation of angular momentum.

• precessional motion

There are over 50 fully solved problems ranging in difficulty.   I've mixed in many conceptual problems as well as algebraic problems to help you practice applying Newton's laws to solve problems.
