Lesson: Angular Impulse Physics

In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the angular impulse given to an object when a torque is applied to it for a period of time.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

use to find the angular impulse experienced by an object to which a torque is applied,
understand that an angular impulse is just a change in the angular momentum of an object,
find the angular impulse experienced by an object from a straight-line graph of torque against time for that object,
understand that an angular impulse is the angular analogue of a linear impulse.
