Hello guys , i am new here .

I am currently doing my college assignment i am required to explain a few physics principle , but currently i am stuck with these two principle :

i) projectile
ii) moment of inertia in rotational of a rigid body

I am required to answer the question that stated as follow :

EXPLANATION ON THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS FROM THE PRINCIPLES for both principle
SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE, MINIMIZE OR AVOID THE PROBLEMS for both principle

Hope that everyone could help me or give me some hints and tips on this question

Homework Statement



EXPLANATION ON THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS FROM THE PRINCIPLES
SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE, MINIMIZE OR AVOID THE PROBLEMS


Homework Equations



EXPLANATION ON THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS FROM THE PRINCIPLES
SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE, MINIMIZE OR AVOID THE PROBLEMS

The Attempt at a Solution



Sorry , i have absolutely no idea on it .

Thanks

welcome

in projectile,
CAUSE: you must consider the forces acting while in an object is in a projectile motion, stating any assumptions.
EFFECTS: This will cause the object to go in a path which has a special name

In moment of inertia
CAUSE: well, I'm not a very advanced physicist. as far as i know, moment inertia is there, exists in every singe matter. nothing causes it. It is the equivalent of mass in translational motion.

EFFECTS: try to think what effect does a mass have (consider the 3 Newton's laws). And the apply it to rotational motion to possibly have the effects of a moment of inertia.

Have a read at least at wiki

i leave the 2nd part of the question for you to think about
