Term
Angular impulse
Definition
change in angular momentum equal to the prodect of torque and time interval over which the torque acts
Term
angular momentum
Definition
quantity of angular motion possessed by a body ; measured as the product of moment of inertia and angular velocity.
Term
centripetal force
Definition
force directed toward the center of rotation for a body in a rotional motion
Term
moment of inertia
Definition
interal property for rotation bodies representing resistance to angular acceleration; based on both mass an the distance the mass is distributed from the axis of rotation.
Term
principal axes
Definition
three mutually perpendicular axes passing through the total body center of gravity
Term
principal moment of inertia
Definition
total body movement of inertia relative to one of the principal axes
Term
radius of gyration
Definition
distance from the axis of rotation to a point where the body's mass could be concentrated without altering its rotational characteristics.
