Rigid Rotations
... rotation of a single “effective” object with a moment of inertia Ir. In this manner we can talk about rotations of a molecule (or a book or a pencil) without having to think about the movement of every single electron and quark individually. It is important to realize, however, that even for a class ...

gravitational potential energy
... The spring force is not constant as an object is pushed or pulled. The motion of the mass is not constant-acceleration motion, and therefore we cannot use our old kinematics equations. One way to analyze motion when spring force is involved is to look at energy before and after some motion. © ...
