Things really get spinning with a discussion of accelerated circular motion. Then The program cover rotational motion, which is the rotation of objects like planets. Along the way you'll learn about radical radians and other science lingo. Finally, we'll look at linear momentum and its companion, the Principle of Conservation of Linear Momentum. The study of motion in a circle applies to a wide range of activities from Ferris wheels to Ferrari's, from technologies including space exploration to machine design. This module builds on concepts from Modules 2, 3 and 4. Rotational motion is simple and fun to study as it involves rotating objects such as tops or orbiting objects such as satellites. Linear and angular momentum problems are explored. Students calculate answers in rads (radians), degrees, and trig functions and use the metric system almost exclusively. .
