Motion
Angular vs Translational
●Translational motion is described by displacement,
velocity and acceleration.
●Rotational motion is described by angular
displacement, angular velocity and angular
acceleration.

Velocity v (velocity) ω (omega)
Acceleration a (acceleration) α (alpha)
Radians
Rotational Formula’s (Kinematics)
Example 1 (Kinematics)
A ball starts at rest and

rotates to the other side in 4
seconds. If it reaches the
other side with an angular
velocity of 1.57 rad/s .393 rad/s^2

Finding Translational
With Rotational
●Distance = radius x θ
●Velocity = radius x ω
●Acceleration = radius x α
●The further the object is from the
axis the more distance the
object travels, the faster it
moves, and the more it
accelerates translationally

Torque - A force that causes or changes rotation
(Angular version of Force)
t = F x r x sin(θ)
t = Torque
F = force
r (lever arm) = distance from the axis of rotation to where force is applied
Θ = Angle between force and lever arm
Rotating clockwise = negative

Rotating counter clockwise = positive
Torque

Torque:
- Force needs to be applied
the furthest from the axis
of rotation as possible.
- Force needs to be applied
perpendicular from the
axis of rotation

given space (nothing to do with time)

Inertia x angular

is a measure of an
