Rotation and Torque - Physics 101 / AP Physics 1 Review with Dianna Cowern

The video explores rotational motion, focusing on Earth's rotation and its effects on linear and angular velocity. It introduces torque, explaining its application in everyday objects like doors and screwdrivers. The video concludes with a discussion on special relativity, highlighting the impossibility of truly rigid objects.
