The rotational analogue of force in Newton's second law is:

AThe momentum
BThe work done
CThe power
DThe torque
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. The torque
1. The rotational form of the second law matches each translational quantity with a rotational one. 2. In that analogue, torque is analogous to force. 3. Angular acceleration is analogous to translational acceleration. 4. Moment of inertia is analogous to mass, or inertia. _Source: OpenStax College Physics for AP(R) Courses 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 10 'Rotational Motion and Angular Momentum', sections 10.1-10.7_
