ANGULAR ANALOGUES OF NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION

OBJECTIVES
*TO UNDERSTAND THE ANGULAR ASPECTS OF NEWTON`S LAW OF
MOTION*
Newton's first law states that:
A rotating body will maintain a state of constant
rotational motion unless acted on by an external torque.

Newton's second law states that REFERENCE
"A net torque produces angular acceleration of a body that is directly
proportional to the magnitude of the torque, in the same direction as the
torque, and inversely proportional to the body's moment of inertia."
Newton’s Third Law

The law of reaction may be stated in angular form as the following:


For every torque exerted by one body on another, there is an equal and opposite
torque exerted by the second body on the first.

When a baseball player forcefully swings a bat, rotating the mass of the
upper body, a torque is created around the player’s longitudinal axis. If
the batter’s feet are not firmly planted, the lower body tends to rotate
around the longitudinal axis in the opposite direction. However, since
the feet usually are planted, the torque generated by the upper body is
translated to the ground, where the earth generates a torque of equal
magnitude and opposite direction on the cleats of the batter’s shoes.
