Phoebe has a new bicycle. As soon as she brings it home she goes for a test ride. In 4 minutes she covers a distance of 480.0 m. Find the angular velocity of the front wheel of the bicycle during this short trip. Assume that she rides at a constant speed and that the diameter of the front wheel is 24 inches. (1 inch = 2.54cm)
Angular speed, acceleration and displacement
Angular acceleration is defined as the rate of change in angular velocity with respect to time. It has both magnitude and direction. So, it is a vector quantity.
Angular Position
Before diving into angular position, one should understand the basics of position and its importance along with usage in day-to-day life. When one talks of position, it’s always relative with respect to some other object. For example, position of earth with respect to sun, position of school with respect to house, etc. Angular position is the rotational analogue of linear position.
