AP Physics C: Rotational vs. Linear Review (Mechanics)

The video reviews key concepts in AP Physics C Mechanics, covering linear and rotational equations for displacement, velocity, acceleration, and momentum. It explains uniformly accelerated motion (UAM) and its angular counterpart, U fishy M. The video also discusses mass, moment of inertia, kinetic energy, Newton's second law, force, torque, and power. The session concludes with a summary and suggestions for further learning.

What is the symbol used for angular velocity?

• Alpha

• Tau

• Theta

• Omega

Which equation represents the final velocity in uniformly accelerated motion?

• Velocity final = Velocity initial + Acceleration x Time

• Velocity final = Velocity initial - Acceleration x Time

• Velocity final = Velocity initial x Acceleration x Time

• Velocity final = Velocity initial / Acceleration x Time

What is the term used for rotational mass?

• Torque

• Moment of Inertia

• Weight

• Mass

Which of the following is the rotational form of Newton's second law?

• Net torque = Derivative of Force with respect to Time

• Net force = Derivative of Momentum with respect to Time

• Net torque = Moment of Inertia x Angular Acceleration

• Net force = Mass x Acceleration

What is the equation for torque?

• Torque = Velocity x Time

• Torque = Mass x Acceleration

• Torque = R cross F

• Torque = Force x Distance

How is linear momentum calculated?

• Mass x Acceleration

• Mass x Velocity

• Force x Distance

• Velocity x Time

What is the relationship between power and work in rotational motion?

• Power = Work x Time

• Power = Work / Time

• Power = Force x Distance

• Power = Torque x Angular Velocity
