Rotational Motion Under Constant Angular Acceleration

Rotational motion occurs when an object (rigid body) rotates around a fixed axis, and the distance between any two particles within the body remains constant.
When an object rotates with a constant angular acceleration, its angular velocity changes at a constant rate, and the motion is called uniform rotational motion under constant angular acceleration.

Characteristics of Rotational Motion

Angular displacement (Δθ) is the change in angular position of an object.
Angular velocity (ω) is the rate of change of angular displacement.
Angular acceleration (α) is the rate of change of angular velocity.

Notes

The rotation of a car around a curved path, the spinning of a top, and the movement of a fan's blades are examples of rotational motion.
The motion of a rigid body can be described by its angular displacement, angular velocity, and angular acceleration.
Angular velocity is measured in radians per second (rad/s).
One revolution is equal to 2π radians, and 380 revolutions per minute is equal to 40 radians per second.
The unit of angular acceleration is radians per second squared (rad/s²).

Explore the concept of rotational motion under constant angular acceleration. Learn about tuning of a car around curved paths, angular velocity changes, and the movement of bodies under a common axis. Practice understanding how the distance between particles within a rotating body changes.
