1
Q
Angular Kinematics
A
Study of motion of an object about a circular path exclusive of the influences of mass and force
2
Q
Angular Displacement
A
angle that an object moves through from starting position relative to an axis of rotation
- vector quantity
- has magnitude and direction
- defined in radians and direction is either positive or negative

A
relative: angle between two limb segments
absolute: measured form an external FOR
