5 Questions
What is the definition of a radian?
A radian is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its radius
How is angular displacement defined?
Angular displacement is the angle in radians through which a point revolves around a center
What is the relationship between 360 degrees and radians?
360 degrees = $2\pi$ radians
Which motion direction is considered positive in rotational motion?

How is angular velocity defined?
Angular velocity is angular displacement divided by time
Study Notes
Angular Measurement
- A radian is a unit of angular measurement defined as the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle.
Angular Displacement
- Angular displacement is the angle through which an object rotates from its initial to its final position.
Degree-Radian Relationship
- There is a fixed relationship between degrees and radians: 360 degrees is equivalent to 2π radians.
Direction of Rotational Motion
- In rotational motion, counterclockwise motion is considered positive, while clockwise motion is considered negative.
Angular Velocity
- Angular velocity is the rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time, measured in radians per second (rad/s).
This quiz focuses on the topic of rotational motion in physics, specifically delving into defining a radian and converting between degrees and radians. It is designed for Grade 11 students studying physics and aims to assess their understanding of this fundamental concept.
