First some quick geometry review:
x = rθ
θ
r
We need this formula for arc length
to see the connection between
rotational motion and linear motion.
We will also need to be able to
convert from revolutions to radians.
There are 2π radians in one
complete revolution.

for linear motion.

We already know how to deal with linear motion.
We have formulas for kinematics, forces, energy and momentum.
We will find similar formulas for rotational motion. Actually, we already know the
formulas – they are the same as the linear ones we already know!
All you have to do is translate the variables.

atan = rα linear acceleration relates to angular acceleration
Notice a pattern here?

linear motion formulas we already know. Here are some kinematics formulas.

Here is a kinematics example: A cyclist starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of 15 m/s in a
time of 25 sec. Assume the tires have a diameter of 700mm and that the acceleration is constant.
Find the total number of revolutions that the wheels make during the 25 second interval.

We basically have two options on how to proceed. We can switch to angular variables right away, or
we can do the corresponding problem in linear variables and translate at the end.

Some other major topics for linear motion are Energy, Forces and Momentum.
All of these have analogues for rotational motion as well.
Any moving object will have Kinetic Energy. This applies to rotating objects.
Here’s a Formula:
K rotational  21 I  2
We know that ω is angular velocity. Comparing with the
formula for linear kinetic energy, what do you think I is?

Here’s a Formula:
K rotational  21 I  2
We know that ω is angular velocity. Comparing with the
formula for linear kinetic energy, what do you think I is?
The I in our formula takes the place of m (mass) in the linear formula. We call it
Moment of Inertia (or rotational inertia). It plays the same role in rotational motion
that mass plays in linear motion (I quantifies how difficult it is to produce an angular
acceleration, just like mass relates to linear acceleration).
The value for I will depend on the shape of your object, but the basic rule of thumb
is that the farther the mass is from the axis of rotation, the larger the inertia.
Page 306 in your book has a table of formulas for different shapes.
These are all based on the formula for the moment of inertia of a point particle.
You will not have to derive them, just know how to use them.

Example
A solid uniform sphere and a uniform spherical shell, both having the same mass and radius, roll without
slipping down a hill that rises at an angle θ above the horizontal. Both spheres start from rest at the
same vertical height h.
a) How fast is each sphere moving when it reaches the bottom of the hill?
b) Which sphere will reach the bottom first, the hollow one or the solid one?

We can use conservation of energy for this one. Since they
don’t mention it we can ignore rolling friction and just assume
that the total energy at the top equals the energy at the bottom.
