Rotational Power, Work, Energy, Torque & Moment of Inertia - Physics Problems

TL;DR

This video explains the relationship between rotational power, work, energy, and torque, and how to calculate them.

Transcript

in this video we're going to focus on rotational power work energy and torque so the work done on an object is equal to the force acting on the object times the object's displacement now in trig you've learned that arc length which is represented by s is equal to the angle theta times the radius in physics the arc length s is equal to the linear di...
