Question

Analogies exist between rotational and translational physical quantities. Identify the rotational term analogous to each of the following: acceleration, force, mass, work, translational kinetic energy, linear momentum, impulse.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Acceleration. Angular acceleration: Is the rate of change of the angular velocity of a body with respect to time.

Force. Torque: Is also called rotational force, since an applied torque will change the rotational motion of a body.

Mass. Moment of inertia: It is the resistance that opposes a body to rotates.

Work. Work: In a rotational motion, the work is done by the torque.

Translational kinetic energy. Rotational kinetic energy: is the kinetic energy due to the rotational motion of a body.

Linear momentum. Angular momentum: Represents the quantity of rotational motion of a body.

Impulse. Angular impulse: Is the change in angular momentum of a body.
