Rotation

6.01A - I can represent rotational motion using graphs, written descriptions, and equations. I can apply mathematical models for constant angular acceleration to solve for unknown values. I can translate between rotational and translational motion
6.02B - I can use the rotational version of Newton's 2nd law to connect torque, angular acceleration, and moment of inertia for accelerating or static situations. I can use center of mass to determine how the object will translate or rotate.
6.03A - I can draw an extended free body diagram.
6.04B - I can calculate or compare torques given a force, lever arm, and angle. I can determine direction of torque about any point, including gravitational torque.
6.05A - I can describe qualitatively how changing the mass or distribution of mass affects the rotational inertia. I understand that rotational inertia is a property of an object.
6.06B - I can recognize the impact of mass, its distribution and angular velocity in the magnitude of rotational kinetic energy. I can include this when applying concepts of conservation of energy.
6.07B - I recognize that a change in momentum is caused by an unbalanced external torque applied over a time interval. 
6.08B - I can apply conservation of angular momentum qualitatively or quantitatively to determine changes in angular velocity or rotational inertia, torques or other relevant information.
6.09B - I can solve advanced problems that involve calculations of rotational energy, angular momentum and concepts of energy, forces, momentum, and motion.

"There is no science in this world like physics. Nothing comes close to the precision with which physics enables you to understand the world around you. It's the laws of physics that allow us to say exactly what time the sun is going to rise. What time the eclipse is going to begin. What time the eclipse is going to end."
