Linear and rotational motion

Understanding the difference between

Linear and rotational motion

When Physical Objects are moving on straight lines

Force of a moving object Equation :

F=mxa

Linear Motion

When objects are rotating around their centre of mass axis.

Torque is the rotational force and it's equation is :

T=Ixw

Rotational Motion
