Hello everyone!
This is probably the stupidest question that I've come up with, and I'm a little embarrassed asking it, but here goes:
Is it only the tangential speed that is zero of a point at the axis of rotation in a rotating solid? If not, then I don't understand how the rotational...
I'm having trouble finding any sources that discuss equations of motion that take into account a changing moment of inertia.
Just looking at the scaler case, angular momentum is L = I\omega
Then, according to the 2nd law, \tau = \frac{d}{dt}(L) = \dot{I}\omega + I\alpha
Is this correct...
Torque, in particular, is always a concept that has confused me.
