both the ball's linear and rotational speeds

Front

The total kinetic energy of a baseball thrown with a spinning motion is a function of ________.

Back

rotational kinetic energy

Front

The energy of an object due to its roational energy.

Back

point mass

Front

In physics, this is an object with a nonzero mass and no other properties or structure.

Back

extended object

Front

An object that has a definite, finite size and shape.

Back

farthest from the axis of rotation

Front

Where should a force be applied on a lever arm to produce the most torque?

Back

moment of inertia

Front

The tendency of a body rotating about a fixed axis to resist a change in rotational motion.

Back

center of gravity

Front

equivalent to the center of mass

Back

perpendicular

Front

At an angle of 90˚ to a given line, plane, or surface.

Back

Newton's second law of motion

Front

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.

Back

lever arm

Front

The perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to a line drawn along the direction of the force.

Back

center of mass

Front

The point at which all the mass of the body can be considered to be concentrated when analyzing translational motion.

Back

symbol for torque

Front

The Greek letter tau is the __________.

Back

angular momentum

Front

The product of a rotating object's moment of inertia and the angular speed about the same axis.

Back

torque

Front

A quantity that measures the ability of a force to rotate an object around some axis.

Back

the more torque is produced

Front

The farther the force is from the axis of rotation, _____________.

Back

translational motion

Front

Motion in a straight line. Definite direction.

Back

axis of rotation

Front

The imaginary point or line around which an object rotates

Back

Net torque is equal to an object's momentum of inertia multiplied by its angular acceleration.

Front

* Describe Newton's second law of rotation.
