Angular velocity refers to the rate at which an object rotates or moves in a circular path. It is measured in radians per second (rad/s).
Imagine you are sitting on a spinning chair and someone starts spinning you faster and faster. The speed at which you rotate is your angular velocity.
Centripetal Acceleration: This term refers to the acceleration experienced by an object moving in a circular path, directed towards the center of the circle.
Tangential Velocity: Tangential velocity is the linear speed of an object moving along a circular path, tangent to that point on the circle.
Periodic Motion: Periodic motion refers to any motion that repeats itself over regular intervals of time.
If an object is already rotating with an initial angular velocity in the clockwise direction and a torque is applied in clockwise direction, what will happen to both the magnitude of the object's angular velocity and angular acceleration?
An ice skater is spinning in place with an angular velocity w. As they extend their hands outwards...
A disk is rotating with an angular velocity of 5 rad/s. If it rotates for 2 seconds, what is the angular displacement of the disk?
A disk is rotating counterclockwise at a rate of 5 revolutions per second. What is the angular velocity of the disk in radians per second?
A disk has an initial angular velocity of 3 rad/s and a final angular velocity of 8 rad/s after 5 seconds. What is the angular acceleration of the disk?
A wheel is rotating counterclockwise at a constant angular acceleration. What can be said about its angular velocity?
A disk is rotating counterclockwise at an angular velocity of 4 rad/s. If the disk comes to a stop after 10 seconds, what is the angular displacement?
A point on a disk travels 12 radians around the center in 3 seconds. What was the angular velocity of the point?
A disk is rotating counterclockwise with an angular velocity of 2 rad/s. If the disk undergoes an angular displacement of 4 radians in 2 seconds, what is the average angular acceleration of the disk?
A disk has an angular velocity of 4 rad/s and an angular acceleration of -2 rad/s^2. What is its angular velocity after 3 seconds?
