Learn how to use force diagrams to analyze the forces and torques acting on a rigid system. Explore how force and torque can lead to rolling in different situations.

Work is a scalar that describes how much energy was transferred to a system and its units are equivalent to Joules. Torque describes a vector of how much twisting action a force puts on a …

A torque is the rotational equivalent of a force. When a torque is applied to an object it causes the object to rotate. Learn how forces create torques and how to calculate the net torque on a …

Remember torque is R times F times sine theta, but let's make it simple. Let's say the angle's 90 so that sine theta will end up being one 'cause sine of 90 is one.

An introduction to torque, a force that causes rotation. Understand how torque is calculated as the product of force and distance, and how it differs from work.

The wheels on the bus go round and round.... their axles, that is. Let's get into the physics of those bus wheels as we explore rotational motion, rotational inertia, torque, and angular …

Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. Just as force is what causes an object to accelerate in linear kinematics, torque is what causes an object to …

Torque is a force that causes something to start rotating, or to change its rotation. So the only component of this force, of this 10 newtons that is gonna cause this door to rotate, is this …

When an electric dipole is placed in a uniform field, it experiences a torque. This torque tries to align the dipole in the direction of the field. Let's explore more.
