Hey everyone we're trying to keep everything as orderly as possible, which is probably a fool's errand. To stop things from getting too out of hand we ask
- Keep content you add to the appropriate section
- Arial font size 14
- On bullets. Post description of content - link to content.
- keep it clean...
Example Problems
- falling down problem comparing potential gravity vs rotational kinetic energy and under which circumstance will the impact be greater- http://physics.bu.edu/~duffy/py105/AngularMo.html
Lecture Material & Videos
This video easily explains how rotational motion can be created by a net torque acting on an object. This motion is described in this video by angular displacement, angular acceleration, as well as angular velocity. The creator of this video does a great job at providing easy to understand examples.

- This is a very long video (3.5 Hours) that has tons of different problems ranging from easy/beginner to semi advanced/midrange physics student. The video creator allows you to pause the video and try for yourself or just watch as he clearly and simply breaks down problems. This is also useful becasue he explains and provides figures for his methodology, so it's virtually impossible to get confused about the problem solving process. On the video description it says it covers 54 topics, mostly in the realms of Torque, Moment of Inertia, Rotational Kinetic Energy, Pulleys, Inclines, Angular Acceleration, etc. This is great preperation before a midterm as it is simply a lot of problems with great explanations.

Interesting article explaining a new discovery of how the rotational motion of cells plays an important role in normal development. It also explains how the motion called "CAMo" is necessary for cells to properly form spheres.
