Physics
Across
- 4. measures the degree to which an object has rotated around a fixed axis, usually expressed in radians or degrees.
- 6. a quantity that measures an object’s resistance to rotational acceleration, which depends on mass distribution relative to the rotation axis.
- 9. Rotation Defines the axis as the fixed line around which an object rotates in rigid body motion.
- 10. a quantity that measures how difficult it is to alter the rotational motion of a spinning object.
- 11. Measures the angle through which an object rotates, typically expressed in radians.
- 12. In rotational dynamics, force is what initiates or influences rotation when applied at a distance from the axis.
- 13. the perpendicular distance between the axis of rotation and the line of action of the applied force.
- 14. occurs when an object is at rest, meaning the net force and net torque acting on it are zero. This concept is demonstrated using examples like a balanced seesaw.
Down
- 1. States that, in the absence of external torque, angular momentum remains conserved within a closed system.
- 2. Explains that work in rotational motion is done by applying torque over a rotational displacement.
- 3. The study of the forces and torques that cause or change the rotational motion of objects, including concepts like torque, moment of inertia, and angular momentum.
- 5. Introduces the concept of kinetic energy in rotational motion, calculated using the moment of inertia and angular velocity.
- 7. The study of the motion of rotating objects, focusing on angular displacement, angular velocity, and angular acceleration without considering the forces causing the rotation.
- 8. Describes the rate of change of angular velocity.
- 9. Defines the rate at which angular displacement changes over time.
- 15. the force that causes rotation, generated when a force is applied at a distance (lever arm) from the rotation axis.
