A4 plan: Rigid body mechanics
Big picture Guiding questions The guiding questions push us to see the mathematical mirroring of this section on the linear motion of A1 and linear dynamics of A2. The equations for constant angular acceleration are identical in their form to suvat; we just replace displacement with angle, etc. Replacing force with torque and mass with moment of inertia,we have the identical form for the dynamics too: Newton’s three...
