How do you convert degrees to radians?

radians = (degrees * π) / 180

How do you calculate angular displacement?

Δθ = θ_final - θ_initial

How do you calculate angular velocity?

ω = Δθ / Δt

How do you calculate angular acceleration?

α = Δω / Δt

How do you relate angular velocity to frequency?

ω = 2πf, where f is the frequency in Hz.

In the angular displacement diagram, what does Δθ represent?

Δθ: Angular Displacement

In the angular velocity diagram, what does ω represent?

ω: Angular Velocity

In the angular acceleration diagram, what does α represent?

α: Angular Acceleration

In the linear to rotational quantities diagram, what does 's' represent?

s: arc length

In the linear to rotational quantities diagram, what does 'v' represent?

v: Linear Velocity

What is the difference between angular velocity and angular acceleration?

Angular Velocity: Rate of change of angular displacement. | Angular Acceleration: Rate of change of angular velocity.

What is the difference between clockwise and counterclockwise direction in rotational motion?

Counterclockwise (CCW): Usually considered the positive direction. | Clockwise (CW): Usually considered the negative direction.

Compare linear and angular displacement.

Linear Displacement: Change in position along a straight line (meters). | Angular Displacement: Change in angular position (radians).

Compare linear and angular velocity.

Linear Velocity: Rate of change of linear displacement (m/s). | Angular Velocity: Rate of change of angular displacement (rad/s).

Compare linear and angular acceleration.

Linear Acceleration: Rate of change of linear velocity (m/s²). | Angular Acceleration: Rate of change of angular velocity (rad/s²).
