8 Terms

1

Angular Displacement

The angle at which a body rotates around a center or axis of rotation, measured in radians, with counterclockwise as positive and clockwise as negative.

New cards
2

Average Angular Velocity

The average rate of change of angular displacement over elapsed time, a vector quantity measured in rad/s.

New cards
3

Average Angular Acceleration

The average rate of change of angular velocity over elapsed time, a vector quantity measured in rad/s^2.

New cards
4

Equations of Rotational Kinematics

Set of equations describing rotational motion with constant angular acceleration, involving angular displacement, velocity, acceleration, time, and initial/final angular velocity.

New cards
5

Tangential Velocity

The linear speed of an object moving along a circular path, calculated as the product of radius and angular velocity, measured in m/s.

New cards
6

Tangential Acceleration

The rate of change of tangential speed, calculated as the product of radius and angular acceleration, measured in m/s^2.

New cards
7

Centripetal Acceleration

The acceleration directed towards the center of a circular path, calculated as the product of radius and angular velocity squared, measured in m/s^2.

New cards
8

Rolling Motion

The concept that the tangential speed of a point on the outer edge of a rolling tire is equal to the speed of the car over the ground.
