Rigid bodies do not deform when force is applied, keeping the distance between particles constant.
The center of mass for a system of particles determines how the system behaves under external forces.
Net external forces and torques are critical for understanding the equilibrium of rigid bodies.
A point representing the average position of the entire mass of a system.
The total momentum of a system, which is conserved in isolated systems unless affected by external forces.
A measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion, depending on the mass distribution relative to an axis.
The rotational equivalent of force, which causes angular acceleration.
A state where the net external force and net external torque acting on a body are zero.
