Question on rotational/angular motion for AP Physics C

Test Preparation AP Sciences
1

Hey everyone!

I have a really sucky teacher this year who is not even close to being on track to doing rotational and angular motion before the ap exam.

How easy is it for me to read the material and understand it without covering topics after momentum? We are just doing momentum in physics C

Thanks

I’m assuming that your class will just be taking the Mechanics exam? I don’t think that you really have to know much about Momentum to understand Rotational Mechanics. I would look at the videos listed on Khan Academy then read about it in your textbook. Rotational Mechanics are not hard as long as you understand Trigonometry well. It all makes sense. Rotational Mechanics take up 18% of the Mechanics exam, so good luck!

Good advice. Thanks!
