2020 Linear Rotational

This document compares and contrasts linear and rotational motion. It defines key terms for both types of motion such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, and equations of motion. Equations for constant linear and angular acceleration are provided. The document also discusses concepts that apply to both motion types including Newton's second law, equilibrium, kinetic energy, and momentum. Mass, force, torque, moment of inertia, and angular momentum are defined for rotational systems.
