Study Guide Overview

This study guide covers rotational dynamics with a focus on Newton's Second Law for Rotation. It explains the relationship between torque, angular acceleration, and rotational inertia. The guide also discusses conditions for changes in angular velocity, including the impact of non-zero net torque. Finally, it provides practice questions and exam tips covering topics like torque calculation, rotational inertia, and combined linear and rotational motion.
