Torque: Crash Course Physics

The video explores the physics of objects moving down a ramp, focusing on torque, moment of inertia, and angular momentum. It explains how these concepts affect the motion of a box, marble, and ring on a ramp. The box reaches the bottom first due to its energy being fully converted to translational kinetic energy, while the marble and ring also convert energy into rotational kinetic energy. The marble finishes second due to its lower moment of inertia compared to the ring. Key concepts include torque, moment of inertia, and energy distribution in rotational motion.
