In summary, circular motion and inertia are good starting points for learning about rotational motion in layman's terms. More advanced concepts like torque, angular momentum, and moment of inertia can also be found on the site Hyperphysics, which is a comprehensive physics resource. Additional tutorials can be found on these forums in the Introductory Physics tutorials section.

hi there,
are there any relevant sites to rotational motion that can teach dumbheads like me in layman term but it detail too(very detail i mean).

thanks a lot hootenanny...do u have a bit more advanced stuff...i mean...torque...angular momentum...moment of inertia...that kind of thing...jus askin...your notes were very useful indeed..

My pleasure :smile:. The second link I posted above (RE inertia) is taken from a site called Hyperphysics, which in my opinion is an excellent physics resource, the main page is located at http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html . The site covers a wide range of physics concepts.

No problem, it was posted on these forums in the Introductory Physics tutorials section, there are quite a few good tutorials located there, you may find it useful to glance through a few at your leisure
 

FAQ: Relevant sites of roational motion

What is rotational motion?

Rotational motion is the movement of an object around an axis or center point. It can be either continuous or periodic, and involves a rotation or spinning motion.

What are some examples of relevant sites of rotational motion?

Some examples of relevant sites of rotational motion include wheels on a car, the Earth rotating on its axis, a spinning top, and a rotating fan blade.

How is rotational motion different from linear motion?

Rotational motion involves movement around an axis, while linear motion involves movement in a straight line. Additionally, rotational motion is described by concepts such as angular velocity and torque, while linear motion is described by concepts such as velocity and acceleration.

What are some real-life applications of rotational motion?

Rotational motion has many practical applications, such as in the operation of machines and vehicles. It is also essential in sports, such as throwing a ball or swinging a bat, and in activities such as dancing and gymnastics.

How is rotational motion relevant to the study of physics?

Rotational motion is a fundamental concept in physics and is studied in depth in courses such as mechanics and dynamics. Understanding rotational motion is essential for understanding the behavior of objects in motion and the laws of motion, such as Newton's laws.
