Unit 9: Rotational Motion
Rotational Motion is related to objects that spin around a central axis of rotation. In this unit, I will be focusing on rotational kinematics, rotational inertia, torque, rotational kinetic energy, angular momentum, angular impulse, and the conservation of angular momentum.
