Quantities used in Angular Motion Flashcards
1
Q
Define angular displacement
A
The smallest change in angle between the starting and finishing point of a rotation
2
Q
Define angular velocity and give the formula
A
The rate of change of angular displacement
Angular velocity(rad/s)=angular displacement (rad)/time(s)
3
Q
Define Angular acceleration and give the formula
A
The rate of change of angular velocity
Angular acceleration(rad/s^2)=change in angular velocity(rad/s)/time(s)
