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.

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\omega.

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\alpha.

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\omega.

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\theta).

The angle through which a point or line has been rotated in a specified direction.

Define angular velocity (ω\omega).

The rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time.

Define angular acceleration (α\alpha).

The rate of change of angular velocity with respect to time.

Define arc length (ss).

The distance along a curved path.

Define tangential acceleration (ata_t).

The component of acceleration of a point on a rotating object that is tangent to the circle of motion.

What is a 'rigid rotating system'?

A system that maintains its shape and size during rotation, where all points share the same angular velocity and angular acceleration.
