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 10.2, Problem 2EYU

An object at rest begins to rotate at t = 0 with constant angular acceleration. After a time f the object has rotated through an angle θ and has an angular velocity ω (a) Through what angle has the object rotated in the time 2t? (b) What is the angular velocity of the object at time 2t?

Definition Definition Rate of change of angular velocity. Angular acceleration indicates how fast the angular velocity changes over time. It is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction. Magnitude is represented by the length of the vector and direction is represented by the right-hand thumb rule. An angular acceleration vector will be always perpendicular to the plane of rotation. Angular acceleration is generally denoted by the Greek letter α and its SI unit is rad/s 2 .
