1. Circular motion: Circular motion refers to the movement of an object along a circular path.

It is
characterized by a constant radius and a changing velocity. One key formula for circular motion
is the centripetal acceleration formula, which states that the acceleration of an object in circular
motion is equal to the square of its velocity divided by the radius of the circular path. For further
study on circular motion, "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Douglas C. Giancoli is
recommended. 2. S. I units: SI units, short for Systeme Internationale units, are the internationally
recognized standard units of measurement in science and engineering. These units are used to
ensure consistency and clarity in measurements. Some commonly used SI units include meter
(m) for length, kilogram (kg) for mass, and second (s) for time. For a comprehensive
understanding of SI units and their applications, "Introduction to the Theory of Computation" by
Michael Sipser is a good resource. 3. Torque: Torque refers to the twisting force that causes an
object to rotate around a fixed axis. It is represented by the symbol τ and is calculated using the
formula τ = rFsinθ, where r is the distance from the axis to the point of application of the force, F
is the magnitude of the force, and θ is the angle between the force and the lever arm.
"Fundamentals of Physics" by David Halliday, Robert Resnick, and Jearl Walker provides a
comprehensive coverage of torque and its applications. 4. Moment of inertia: Moment of inertia
is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion. It is calculated using
the formula I = mr^2, where m is the mass of the object and r is the distance from the axis of
rotation to the object. The moment of inertia depends on both the mass and the distribution of
mass in the object. For further study on moment of inertia, "Classical Mechanics" by John R.
Taylor is a recommended book. 5. Law of conservation of linear momentum: The law of
conservation of linear momentum states that the total momentum of a system remains constant
if no external forces act on it. This means that the momentum before an event is equal to the
momentum after the event. It is an important principle in physics and is used to analyze
collisions and other interactions between objects. "Physics: Principles with Applications" by
Douglas C. Giancoli is a useful resource for studying the law of conservation of linear
momentum.
