     Homework



  • Act 9A, p. 128-129, Angular Motion
  • Act 9B, p. 133-135, Torque - Angular Force
  • Act 9C, p. 128-129, Angular Momentum


  • Radians

    Radian Measure is used so that we can easily calculate an arc length, d (m), given an angle, š›‰ (Rad) and the radius, r (m).

    d = rš›‰

    This in turn allows us to relate velocity, v (ms-1) to angular velocity ⍵ (rads-1), in the same way.

    v = r⍵, 

    also ⍵ = 2š…f

     This also allows us to relate acceleration, a (ms-2), to angular acceleration, Ī± (rads-2), in the same way.

    a = rα

    The rotational kinematics work just like the translational kinematic equations when there is a constant acceleration.
