Chapter 7 ? Rotational Motion and the Law of Gravity This chapter deals with rotational kinematics ? the relationships between rotational position, velocity, acceleration and time. Rotational dynamics will be discussed in the next chapter. Dynamics deals with energy, momentum, and forces. Universal gravitation is also discussed in this chapter in part since satellite and planetary motion involves rotation. Angular displacement, velocity, and acceleration Angle (() can be defined in terms of radius (r) and arc length (s) on a circle as
