Torque, also known as "torq," is a force that causes an object to rotate around an axis or pivot. There are several synonyms that can be used in place of this word, such as angular momentum, rotational force, twisting force, or rotational inertia. Depending on the context, other terms like moment of force, rotational acceleration, or rotational speed may also be used. Each of these words describes a specific aspect of torque, but they all refer to the same basic concept. Knowing these synonyms can help you understand technical discussions about forces and momentum, and make it easier to communicate complex ideas.
