what is angular motion
refers to rotation and involves movement around a fixed point ot axis
occurs when force is applied outside of the centre of mass
what is a torque
turning force
causes an object to turn about its axis of rotation
increasing size of force, increases TOrque
torque calculation
forcex perpendicular diatnce from fulcrum
newtons first law
rotating body will continrue to turn about its axis of rotation with constant angular momentum unlesss an external torationa force (torque) is exterted upon it
newtons second law
