Angular Kinematics

Question 1

angular kinematics

Answer 1

the study of the description of angular motion independent of torque

Question 2

angular motion

Answer 2

occurs when all points of an object move in circular paths about the fixed axis

Question 3

angle

Answer 3

formed by the intersection of two lines, two planes, or a line, & a plane

Question 4

degree

Answer 4

DOES NOT SHOW LENGTH

Question 5

radians

Answer 5

ratio of the arc length of a circle subtended by that angle, divided by the radius of the cicule

Question 6

angular position

Answer 6

the orientation of a line with other line or plane

Question 7

absolute angular position

Answer 7

the angle your lower leg makes with a horizontal line

Question 8

relative angular position

Answer 8

angles formed by limbs at joints

Question 9

angular displacement

Answer 9

the change in angular position

Question 10

linear displacement

Answer 10

straight line between final & initial position

Question 11

angular velocity

Answer 11

the rate of angular displacement

Question 12

relationship between angular velocity & linear velocity

Answer 12

the linear velocity of a point farther from the axis of rotation is faster if the angular velocity is the same

Question 13

angular acceleration

Answer 13

the rate of change of angular velocity

Question 14

tangential acceleration

Answer 14

linear acceleration tangent to the path of rotation of a point

Question 15

centripetal acceleration

Answer 15

the linear acceleration directed toward the center of rotation
