Translational Equilibrium: Constant linear velocity, zero net force. | Rotational Equilibrium: Constant angular velocity, zero net torque.

Linear Motion: An object maintains constant velocity unless acted upon by a net force. | Rotational Motion: An object maintains constant angular velocity unless acted upon by a net torque.

Linear Motion: Net force equals mass times acceleration ($\vec{F} = m\vec{a}$). | Rotational Motion: Net torque equals moment of inertia times angular acceleration ($\sum \vec{\tau} = I \vec{\alpha}$).

Force: A linear push or pull. | Torque: A rotational 'twist' or turning force.

Linear Acceleration: The rate of change of linear velocity. | Angular Acceleration: The rate of change of angular velocity.
