Equations of Rotational Motion definitions Flashcards

Movement of an object around a central axis, described by angular variables.

Symbol for angular velocity, representing the rate of rotation.

Symbol for angular acceleration, indicating the change in angular velocity over time.

Represents the change in angular position, measured in radians.

Symbol for the change in time, used in motion equations.

Unit of angular measure used in rotational motion equations.

Unit of angular measure, often converted from radians in rotational problems.

Rate at which an object rotates, measured in radians per second.

Rate of change of angular velocity, measured in radians per second squared.

Imaginary line around which an object rotates.

Starting angular velocity of a rotating object.

Angular velocity of a rotating object at a later time.

Variable not needed in a specific rotational motion equation.

Movement in a straight line, analogous to rotational motion.

Problem presented in a narrative form, often requiring translation into equations.
