 ===== Torques Cause Changes in Rotation =====
-Until now, you have worked with [[183_notes:mp_multi|forces]] and [[183_notes:work|work]] to explain and predict the motion of objects. You've even used [[183_notes:rot_ke|work and energy to begin to explain that objects can rotate]], but you haven't yet unpacked how that occurs -- only that a system can share energy between translation and rotation. In these notes, you will read about torque, which is a force applied at a distance from a specific point that causes a twisting or rotating about that point.

 The sign of each torque is incredibly important for determining the net torque. It is the net torque that causes changes in rotation, just like it is the [[183_notes:momentum_principle|net force that causes changes in translation]].
