Intro to Angular Collisions definitions Flashcards

Occurs when at least one object is rotating or begins to rotate due to a collision.

Principle stating that the total angular momentum remains constant if no external torque acts on a system.

A measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotation rate.

The rate of change of an object's angular position with respect to time.

The product of an object's mass and its velocity, used in linear collision analysis.

Revolutions per minute, a unit of rotational speed.

A type of collision where colliding objects stick together post-collision, sharing a common velocity.

An idealized object with mass concentrated at a single point, used in physics problems.

An imaginary line around which an object rotates.

A rotational direction that follows the movement of a clock's hands.

A rotational direction opposite to the movement of a clock's hands.

The number of rotations or revolutions per unit of time.

The perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the point of interest.

A collision where objects stick together and move with a common velocity post-collision.

Movement of an object around a central axis or point.
