What is the effect of increasing angular velocity on linear velocity?

Increasing angular velocity increases the linear velocity of a point on a rotating object, according to the relationship v=rωv = r\omegav=rω.

What is the effect of increasing angular acceleration on tangential acceleration?

Increasing angular acceleration increases the tangential acceleration of a point on a rotating object, according to the relationship aT=rαa_T = r\alphaaT​=rα.

What is the effect of increasing the radius on linear velocity, given a constant angular velocity?

Increasing the radius increases the linear velocity of a point on a rotating object, given a constant angular velocity, according to the relationship v=rωv = r\omegav=rω.

What is the effect of applying a torque to a rigid object?

Applying a torque to a rigid object causes it to experience angular acceleration.

What is the effect of a net force applied to the center of mass of an object?

A net force applied to the center of mass of an object causes linear acceleration.

Define angular displacement (θ\thetaθ).

Angular displacement is the angle through which a point or object has been rotated in a specified direction.

Define angular velocity (ω\omegaω).

Angular velocity is the rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time.

Define angular acceleration (alphaalphaalpha).

Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity with respect to time.

Define tangential acceleration (aTa_TaT​).

Tangential acceleration is the linear acceleration of a point on a rotating object, tangent to the circular path.

Define 'rolling without slipping'.

Rolling without slipping is a type of motion where a rotating object moves along a surface without sliding; the point of contact between the object and the surface is instantaneously at rest.

What is the effect of applying a constant tangential force to the edge of a disk?

It causes the disk to experience angular acceleration and thus rotate with increasing angular velocity.

What is the effect of increasing the radius on the linear velocity of a point on a rotating object, given a constant angular velocity?

The linear velocity of the point increases.

What is the effect of a non-zero angular acceleration?

The angular velocity of the object changes over time.

What is the effect of applying a torque to an object?

It causes the object to experience angular acceleration.

What happens to the tangential acceleration if the angular acceleration increases?

The tangential acceleration increases proportionally, given a constant radius.
