Questions and Answers

What is angular displacement (Δθ)?

  • The product of angular velocity and time
  • The total distance moved along the circumference
  • The distance rotated divided by the radius
  • The angle through which an object rotates from its initial position (correct)

    • The angular position (θ) can be any arbitrary angle and does not relate to a reference direction.

    False

    Study Notes

    Rotational Kinematics

    • Rotational motion is the turning or spinning motion of an object
    • For rotational motion of rigid objects, the particles forming it stay in fixed positions relative to a line about which the rotation takes place. This line is called the axis of rotation.
    • The axis of rotation may be a pivot, hinges, or any other support
    • During rotational motion, while the other points of the body move in circles about it.
    • The axis of rotation may be a pivot, hinges or any other support.

    Angular Position

    • The angle through which an object is rotated is called angular position θ'
    • It is related to the radial line in space, where θ' is the angle between the radial line and the fixed reference line in space. (often chosen as the x-axis)
    • θ = s/r, where s is the arc length and r is the radius
    • Positive angular displacements represent counter-clockwise motion, and negative displacements represent clockwise motion.

    Angular Displacement

    • The change in angular position is called angular displacement (Δθ)
    • Δθ = θ₂ - θ₁
    • The SI unit of angular displacement is radians (rad)
    • Other units include degrees and revolutions.

    SI units of angular displacement

    • 1 revolution = 360°
    • 1 revolution = 2π rad.
    • 1 rad = 360°/2π = 57.3°
