Questions and Answers

What is the fundamental difference between linear motion and rotational motion?

Linear motion involves movement along a straight path, while rotational motion involves movement around a fixed point or axis.

What is the angular displacement of an object that rotates from 30° to 90°?

60° or $\frac{\pi}{3}$ rad

An object rotates with an angular velocity of 2 rad/s. What is its angular acceleration if it increases its angular velocity to 4 rad/s in 2 seconds?

1 rad/s²
