What is the effect of applying a constant torque to an object?

It causes the object to experience angular acceleration.

All Flashcards

What is the effect of applying a constant torque to an object?
It causes the object to experience angular acceleration.
What happens when angular acceleration is zero?
The angular velocity remains constant.
What is the effect of increasing the radius on linear speed, given a constant angular velocity?
The linear speed increases (v = rω).
What happens if the angular velocity is constant?
Angular displacement increases linearly with time.
What is the effect of a negative angular acceleration?
It causes a decrease in angular velocity.
What is the effect of applying a constant torque to an object?
It causes the object to experience angular acceleration.
What happens when angular velocity is constant?
Angular acceleration is zero.
What happens when a rotating object's angular velocity increases?
It experiences positive angular acceleration.
What happens when a rotating object's angular velocity decreases?
It experiences negative angular acceleration.
What is the effect of increasing the radius on linear velocity, given a constant angular velocity?
The linear velocity increases (v = rω).
What is the difference between angular velocity (ω) and angular acceleration (α)?
Angular Velocity (ω): Rate of change of angular displacement. | Angular Acceleration (α): Rate of change of angular velocity.
Compare clockwise and counterclockwise direction in rotational motion.
Clockwise (CW): Usually considered the negative direction. | Counterclockwise (CCW): Usually considered the positive direction.
Compare angular displacement and arc length.
Angular Displacement: Angle through which an object has rotated. | Arc Length: Distance traveled along the circular path.
Compare linear velocity and angular velocity.
Linear Velocity: Velocity of a point on a rotating object (m/s). | Angular Velocity: Rate of rotation (rad/s).
Compare linear acceleration and angular acceleration.
Linear Acceleration: Rate of change of linear velocity (m/s²). | Angular Acceleration: Rate of change of angular velocity (rad/s²).
