Document Summary

Newton"s second law force) upon one another: third law: bodies in contact exert equal and opposite torque (or moments of. T = ia: sum of torques acting on a body = (moment of inertia)(angular acceleration, angular acceleration has to be in radians/s2 (no degrees, moment of inertia about the axis you are summing the moments about. I is the symbol for moment of inertia: angular analog for mass, more moment of inertia, the harder it is to rotate it. Joint rotation axes, or: the body segment center of mass. Angular momentum (vector: symbol: capital h, also sometimes l, units: kg * m/s2, equation: h = i = (mk2) , linear momentum: mv, angular momentum: iw, derivation: comes from 2nd law (just like linear momentum) Angular momentum: what is it: amount of rotational motion, very important quantity in human motion, regulation of posture and balance, impacts and collisions.
