This study guide covers the relationship between linear and rotational motion, focusing on how they are linked through the radius. Key concepts include calculating distance traveled during rotation, understanding the relationship between linear and angular quantities (displacement, velocity, and acceleration), and the concept of uniform angular motion in rigid systems. The guide emphasizes the formulas s = rθ, v = rω, and a_t = rα, and the importance of using radians in calculations. It also provides practice questions and exam tips.
