The natural way to measure Angular Motion
Radians The natural way to measure Angular Motion
2
Angular Displacement & Radians
Angular displacement (θ) is a vector measure of “How far around” Radians& degrees measure angular displacement All Circles have a Circumference 2πr Thus All circle are 2π radiuses, or 2π radians around. Angular displacement is a vector so… Counter-clockwise is considered positive, Clock-wise is negative.
3
ω = Δθ∕Δt Angular Velocity
Angular Velocity (ω) is the vector measure of the rate of change of angular displacement ω = Δθ∕Δt
4
α = Δω∕Δt Angular Acceleration
Angular acceleration (α) is the rate of change of angular velocity α = Δω∕Δt
5
Converting Angular to Linear (Tangential) Measures
Finding linear equivalent displacement (s) s = θr Finding tangential velocity (vt) vt = ωr Finding tangential acceleration (at) at = αr
6
Angular Versions of Centripetal Formulae
Using Angular Velocity (ω) in place of tangential : ac = ω²r & Fc = mω²r
