In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini sits down with us to discuss what torque is, how it works, why it works, and what it all has to do with this thing called "Moment of Inertia." ...
Rotational Inertia &Torque: Translational and rotational motion are compared and contrasted. Students learn to distinguish between stable and unstable rotational equilibrium.
To understand how Star-Lord flies, you have to consider both the forces acting on him (hello, jet boots) and the torque.

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...
The 'spin-transfer torque effect' could provide a powerful means of controlling the orientation of spins with electric currents rather than magnetic fields in future spintronic devices ...
