Revolutions refer to the complete circular motions made by an object around an axis. One revolution is equal to one complete rotation (360 degrees).
Think of riding a Ferris wheel. Each time you go around in a full circle, it counts as one revolution.
Angular Displacement: The change in angular position or orientation of an object.
Period: The time taken for one complete revolution or oscillation in a periodic motion.
Angular Velocity: The rate at which an object rotates or revolves about an axis, measured in radians per second.
