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 w…

Textbook Question

Chapter 10, Problem 16PCE

Predict/Calculate A ceiling fan is rotating at 0 96 rev/s. When turned off, it slows uniformly to a stop in 2 4 min (a) How many revolutions does the fan make in this time? (b) Using the result from part (a), find the number of revolutions the fan must make for its speed to decrease from 0.96 rev/s to 0.48 rev/s.
