What is the study of motion and forces in solid objects called?

Dynamics of Rigid Bodies

What are rigid bodies?

Solid objects that do not deform under applied forces

What are the two primary types of motion in rigid bodies?

Translation and Rotation

What is the equation for linear velocity?

v = d/t

What is the relationship between linear and angular velocity?

v = r * ω

What is inertia?

The resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion

What is torque?

The rotational equivalent of force

What are the conditions for rotational equilibrium?

Στ = 0 and ΣF = 0

What is the moment of inertia?

The measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion

What is the angular momentum?

The rotational equivalent of linear momentum

Which law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction?

Newton's Third Law of Motion

What is the acceleration due to gravity?

9.8 m/s²

What is centripetal force?

The force that keeps an object moving in a circular path

What is the formula for centripetal force?

F = m * v² / r

What is moment of force?

The tendency of a force to cause rotation around a point or axis
