10-4 Rotation with Constant Angular Acceleration.
E N D
10-4 Rotation with Constant Angular Acceleration •12 The angular speed of an automobile engine is increased at a constant rate from 1200 rev/min to 3000 rev/min in 12 s. (a) What is its angular acceleration in revolutions per minute-squared? (b) How many revolutions does the engine make during this 12 s interval?

10-7 Calculating the Rotational Inertia If a rigid body consists of a few particles, we can calculate its rotational inertia about a given rotation axis with the following equation: If a rigid body consists of a great many adjacent particles (it is continuous, like a Frisbee), we replace the sum in the above equation with an integral and define the rotational inertia of the body as:
Parallel-Axis Theorem The parallel-axis theorem relates the rotational inertia I of a body about any axis to that of the same body about a parallel axis through the center of mass, where h is the perpendicular distance between the two axes.
