rotational movement of a RB
Introduction
 Basic Concepts

1) What is a RB?
2) How can you describe the
Translational Movement of a RB?
3) How can you describe the
Rotational Movement of a RB?

A especial case: Two rotating bodies

The points in contact move with the same YES NO

radius along different circular paths

The flywheel rotates with an angular velocity of 𝒘 = (𝟑) 𝜽𝟏/𝟑 rad/s,

where 𝜽 is in radians. Determine the time it takes to achieve an

angular velocity of 𝒘 = 𝟒 rad/s. When 𝒕 = 𝟎 , 𝜽 =27 rad.
