Physics I- Classical Mechanics - Two Dimensional Rotational Kinematics

The physical objects that we encounter in the world consist of collections of atoms that are bound together to form systems of particles. When forces are applied, the shape of the body may be stretched or compressed like a spring, or sheared like jello. In some systems the constituent particles are very loosely bound to each other as in fluids and gasses, and the distances between the constituent particles will vary. We shall begin our study of extended objects by restricting ourselves to an ideal category of objects, rigid bodies, which do not stretch, compress, or shear.
