Rotations, Part I: Dynamics of Rigid Bodies
This lecture introduces rigid body rotation in two dimensions, defining angular velocity, momentum, acceleration, and torque. The Parallel Axis Theorem is also expounded.
Part I of Rotations. The lecture begins with examining rotation of rigid bodies in two dimensions. The concepts of "rotation" and "translation" are explained. The use of radians is introduced. Angular velocity, angular momentum, angular acceleration, torque and inertia are also discussed. Finally, the Parallel Axis Theorem is expounded.
This course was recorded in Fall 2006.
