Kinematics (Angular Motion)

Definition

Angular Velocity

Angular acceleration

Angular Displacement

It is defined as the angle and the direction through which a body turns

denoted by θ

measured using radian [rad]

1 revolution = 360 degree = 2π radians

denoted by ω

It is the rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time

measured using radian per second [rad/s]
or revolution per minute [rpm]

denoted by α

It is the rate of change of angular velocity with respect to time

measured using radian per square second [rad/s^2]
