Rotational Dynamics

The relations connecting torque, angular acceleration, angular momentum, angular velocity and moment of inertia were already developed in §5.2. This section continues that development by establishing the rotational equivalents of the remaining major dynamical quantities familiar from translational motion — work, kinetic energy and power — and closes with a single consolidated table comparing every transla …
