Rotational dynamics

This includes the mathematical description of the rotational motion of rigid bodies.

   

Mass distribution and rotational inertia

The distribution of mass in a non-particular body has a great deal to do with its motion. This also deals with the concept of a center of mass.

Linear and Angular momentum

This has to do with angular momentum and its conservation.

Torque

Also called moment of force, this has to do with the causes of angular acceleration and changes in rotational motion.

Types and cases of Rotational dynamics

This has to do with the motion of gyroscopes and rotating bodies, and the effects of various forces on them.


History including prehistory, antiquity, classical and medieval history, modern history, and the future can be considered. Sociology including social structure and change, communities, and peoples of the world will also be connected. Institutions including families, education, economics, government, and religion may also be connected. Culture including material culture, conceptual culture, and behavioral culture will be useful. Anthropology including social foundations, demography, physical anthropology, human ecology, human geography, and particular groups is for the most part minimally useful.

Personal studies including psychology are indirectly connected, though biography will be useful. The human body, including body systems, body functions, life cycle, disease, and form and appearance has some illustrations of rotational dynamics.

Biology including molecular biology, cell biology, organism biology, systematics, ecology, and biohistory also illustrates some. Earth science including geology, hydrospheric science, atmospheric science, physical geography, and geohistory illustrates a few applications. Astronomy including Solar system astronomy, stellar astronomy, galactic astronomy, and cosmology also illustrates applications. Chemistry including substances, changes, and systems may demonstrate applications.

The structure of matter is somewhat connected. Quantum physics and relativity principally demonstrate applications. Thermodynamics has limited applicability, but elemectromagnetism is connected.

This depends heavily on other areas of mechanics. Gravitation and nonrigid mechanics principally describe applications. Other areas of rigid body dynamics are also connected. This is applied in dynamic systems and static systems. This depends heavily on rigid body description and motion. Particle mechanics including particle systems, energetic, kinetics, kinematics, and particle description is useful.
