Study Notes

Angular Velocity

  • Instantaneous average velocity is the ratio between the small angular displacement Δθ and the small time interval Δt, approaching zero, is called instantaneous angular velocity.
  • ω = Δθ/Δt
  • SI units of angular velocity are rad/s.
  • Other units are deg/s or rev/s or rev/min (rpm).

Angular Acceleration

  • The time rate of change of angular velocity is angular acceleration α.
  • α = Δω/Δt
  • SI units of angular acceleration are rad/s².
  • Other units are deg/s² or rev/s².
  • Angular acceleration is positive when angular velocity increases, negative when angular velocity decreases; and the direction is determined by the right-hand rule.
