and the physical reality of an object. For example; throwing an object straight
up into the air, and the graph of its motion during its time of flight.

Notes:
– Until now, all our vectors have been one dimensional. Their relative direction of each
vector to each other is left and/or right, up and/or down, but never in two dimensions.
This chapter deals with those problems that do move in two dimensions. So we need a
coordinate system that has both a left and right and an up and down. We will use the
Cartesian coordinate system and we will call each system a frame of reference. We

NOTE: If the net torque is zero, it is possible for the angular velocity, , to change
since the momentum of inertia can change due to a change in mass distribution. If the
mass distribution changes and the net torque is zero, then the angular velocity must
change. An example is a spinning ice skater.
