Rotational Inertia
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the angular momentum of an object if a product of the rotational inertia and the angular velocity. The rotational inertia depends on the mass, radius and shape of the rotating objects. A sample...

Rotational Motion
In this video Paul Andersen explains how a net torque acting on an object will create rotational motion. This motion can be described by the angular displacement, angular velocity, and angular acceleration. The linear velocity can be...

Practice Problem: The Mini-Golf Windmill
Who doesn't love mini-golf? Especially when you've got money riding on it, and especially when you've got some physics knowledge up your sleeve. Go ahead and impress your friends by getting through the windmill obstacle, thanks to a...

Practice Problem: Torque on a Mobile
You had a baby! Hooray! Now it's time to stop building ramps and pulleys and it's time to start building baby stuff. You love astronomy so you decide to make a mobile of the solar system. But in order to get everything to balance out, we...

Angular Motion and Torque
More spinning things! Records, and wheels, and doors, and other fun things. The equations that govern this kind of motion are just like the ones we learned in kinematics, except they have different symbols. Lots of funky Greek letters in...
