Kinetic Energy
Stationary observer
Parallel–axis theorem
A rolling object has two types of kinetic energy: a rotational kinetic energy due to its rotation about its center of mass and a translational kinetic energy due to translation of its center of mass.

Forces
Yo–Yo
A net force acting on a rolling wheel speeds it up or slows it down and causes an acceleration.
The acceleration tends to make the wheel slide.
A static frictional force acts on the wheel to oppose that tendency.

Newton’s 2nd LawSingle particle
Linear form
Single particle
Angular form
Proof
The (vector) sum of all torques acting on a particle is equal to the time rate of change of angular momentum of that particle!

Conservation of Angular Momentum
Angular momentum of a solid body about a fixed axis
Law of conservation of angular momentum
(Valid from microscopic to macroscopic scales!)
If the net external torque acting on a system is zero, the angular momentum of the system remains constant, no matter what changes take place within the system
