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 ( $\theta$ ).

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

Define angular velocity ( $\omega$ ).

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

Define angular acceleration ( $alpha$ ).

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

Define tangential acceleration ( $a_T$ ).

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.

Define angular displacement ( $\theta$ ).

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

Define angular velocity ( $\omega$ ).

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

Define angular acceleration ( $\alpha$ ).

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

Define arc length ( $s$ ).

The distance along a curved path.

Define tangential acceleration ( $a_t$ ).

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.
