Concept: For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.
Rotational Version: The action torque and reaction torque are equal and opposite. If object A torques object B, object B torques object A back, equally and oppositely.
🎡 Real-world Example: When you try to wring out a wet cloth, your left hand twists one way while your right hand twists the opposite way.
Formula for work W
Power P = × τ × ω
Kinetic energy for linear motion: =Ek=\(\frac 12\)mv2
Rotational KE: Ek=\(\frac 12\)Iω2 where I is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular velocity.
🚲 Real-world Example: Think of a bike wheel spinning. Faster it spins, more energy it has!
