Rotational Kinematics

Definition

Rotational kinematics refers to the study of motion in a rotating system, specifically the relationships between angular displacement, angular velocity, and angular acceleration.

Related terms

Angular Displacement: Angular displacement is the measure of the angle through which an object rotates or revolves. It represents the change in position or orientation of an object in a rotating system.

Angular Velocity: Angular velocity is the rate at which an object rotates or revolves around a fixed axis. It measures how quickly an object's angular position changes over time.

Angular Acceleration:

Angular acceleration is the rate at which an object's angular velocity changes over time. It represents how quickly an object's rotational speed increases or decreases.
