How are rotational speed and acceleration related to
the corresponding linear quantities?
What is the angular quantity which is analogous
to momentum?
What are the rotational analogs of mass and force?
What is torque? What things do you have to know to
calculate it?
Describe how the rotational inertia of an object depends
upon its mass and the distribution of that mass.
Does motion in a circle at a constant speed involve
an acceleration?
If you double the speed of your car around a
curve, by what factor must the force exerted by
the road on your car go up?
What is angular momentum? Under what conditions
is angular momentum conserved?
If a spinning wheel has angular momentum, what
is the direction of that angular momentum?
What is the difference between centrifugal force
and centripetal force? Which can you measure
with a scale?
Calculate the centripetal force on an object moving
in a curved path, given the mass, velocity, and radius
of curvature of the path.
