Background material on rotation |
| Wheels and rolling The relation between angular and translational velocities for a rolling wheel. Motion of a point on wheel. |
| Circular Motion Circular motion (uniform and nonuniform), centripetal acceleration, fictitious forces. |
| Newton's laws Newton's laws of motion, inertial frames, the nature of mass and force, examples. |
| The vector product The vector product defined. Calculation using unit vectors. Sign convention and the right hand rule. |
| Wheelies or wheelstands
What are the conditions of torque and friction under which an accelerating (or braking) car or bike could lift the front (or rear) wheels? |
