Document Summary
The speeds of the particles differ, but each one completes a full revolution in the same time. We describe the rotational motion using angle, angular velocity, and angular acceleration: Units: by convention, angles are measured in radians. s r or s r. 2 rad = 360o arc length s r r. Angular velocity has units of rad/s or s-1. Angular acceleration has units of rad/s2 or s-2 (the radian is a ratio of two lengths, and not really a unit. Some equations will require angles to be in radians. ) 2 angular velocity ( omega ): angular acceleration ( alpha ): t (radians) angle ( theta ): (rad/s) dt d (rad/s2 ) dt t t ( )t t d. A particle p travels in a circle of radius r. the velocity is tangential to the circle and perpendicular to the radius. Tangential velocity: v t ds dt d dt r r d dt r.
