Let’s learn to solve problems, model and make quantitative predictions about objects executing uniform circular motion in a variety of situations. In particular, we’re going to look at:
- Angular motion
Angular speed and velocity
Angular displacement is denoted using \theta.
Angular speed is given by the following:
\omgega = \frac{d \theta}{dt}
Angular motion
Angular displacement is denoted using: \theta.
Angular displacement is denoted using: \omega.
Angular acceleration is given by the following:
\alpha= \frac{d \omega}{dt}So our motion equations become:
\omega= \omega_o + \alpha t \theta= \omega_o t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 \omega^2= \omega_0^2 + 2 \alpha \theta
