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).
