Physics Facts


Lesson 7.1 Rotational Kinematics

I can explain the difference between rotational quantities and their linear counterparts.

I can solve problems looking for 1 or more variable with constant angular acceleration.

I can derive equations for a given situation.

I can interpret and transition bewteen  angular displacement vs time, angular velocity vs time, and angular acceleration vs time graphs.
