Torque causes objects to rotate by applying a force at a distance from the axis of rotation. It is a measure of the ability to cause rotation and depends on both the magnitude of the applied force and its distance from the axis. There are two types of torque - static, which does not produce any angular movement, and dynamic, which results in a rotational arc. Torque is calculated using formulas that relate it to factors like the applied force, distance from the axis, and angular acceleration.

Torque

- It causes an object to acquire angular acceleration.


- The measure of the force that can cause an object to ROTATE about an axis
- The DIRECTION of TORQUE depends on the direction of the FORCE of the AXIS
- Uses the symbol “τ” a.k.a “Tao”
- 2 TYPES OF TORQUE
- STATIC - does not produce any angle
- DYNAMIC - there is angular arc.

FORMULA:
T = r*F | r * F sin Θ

DIMENSIONAL FORMULA:
T= [ML2T2]

ROTATIONAL KINEMATICS FORMULA IN TORQUE:

T= lω

ω = Angular Acceleration
l= Rotational Inertia

Rotational Inertia
- The resistance of a ROTATING OBJECT to change in its ANGULAR VELOCITY.
FORMULA:

Rotational kinematics
- Motion of a body about an internal axis. (a.k.a ROTARY MOTION) eku na balu

Angular velocity
- TIME RATE of ANGULAR DISPLACEMENT.
FORMULA:

Angular Displacement
- Angle about the axis of rotation thorough the object turns.
FORMULA:

Angular acceleration
-Rate of rotation or direction of the AXIS involves a CHANGE of ANGULAR
VELOCITY.
FORMULA:

Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation


- Gravitation is a natural occurrence by which physical objects attract each other
due to their masses.
-
- states that “every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with force
directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the
square of the distance between them.”

FORMULA:

Gravitational Field
- The concept of the gravitational field started when Newton wondered how the
sun could exert a force on planet earth, which was hundreds of millions of
kilometers away.
- Gravitational attractive forces between two objects only affect their motion
when at least one of the objects is very massive. This explains why we are
aware of the force that attracts us and other objects toward the Earth – the
Earth is very massive. The mass of the Earth is about 6 × 1024 kg.
- The concept of magnetism, which was developed by Michael Faraday, was also
applied to gravity. This is the concept of the field to explain how a magnet
attracts objects. A gravitational field (vector) is the force field that exists in
the space around every mass or group of masses. This field cannot be touched
or seen, but we can try to model it using field lines or lines of force.
FORMULA:

Gravitational potential energy

Periodic Motion
- Periodic motion is a motion that repeats itself. For example, a small object
oscillating at the end of a spring, a swinging pendulum, the earth orbiting the
sun, etc. are examples where the motion of the object”approximately” keeps
repeating itself.
