A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Rotational motion of rigid bodies

Rotational motion of rigid bodies deals with how bodies rotate about an axis, characterised by angular displacement, velocity, acceleration, torque and moment of inertia. Mastering these concepts is essential for solving problems involving rotational kinematics, dynamics and energy, which are frequent in the NUC CCMAS, NBTE and NCCE syllabi for Medical & Health Sciences.
