Investigating Rotational Motion: Angular kinematics and relating angular to linear quantities.
Objective:
This activity is intended to enhance your physics education. We offer it as a virtual lab online.
We think it will help you make connections between predictions and conclusions, concepts and
actions, equations and actual motions. We also think that if you give this activity a chance, it will
be fun! This is an opportunity to learn a great deal. Answer all questions as you follow the
procedure in running the simulation.
Join the ladybug and beetle in an exploration of rotational motion. It is possible to determine the
angular and linear quantities which can describe the motion of a ladybug on the turning table. All
features you need for this simulation can be found on the display by clicking the “Rotation” tab.
Graph Type: Click one of the types of graphs among the four types under the “Show graphs”. If
you couldn’t recognize the symbols, click “Symbol Key”
Graph Selector: There are three boxes to check and select from. To display graphs which
represent the motion of the platform (the turning table), check the “Show Platform Graph” box.
Checking this box also helps you to enter values of angular quantities. The other two boxes are
used to add position, velocity, and acceleration of the ladybug and/or Beetles.
Position: You can place the ladybug and/or Beetle on the platform. The position can be measured
using the ruler by checking the “Ruler” box.
Vectors: you can check the boxes at the bottom left corner to display the vectors on the ladybug
and/or Beetles.
In addition, you can see the results in both radian and degrees. Whenever you are ready to run
the simulation, click “Go”. You can control the speed of the simulation using “Sim speed” slide.
You can always restart the platform by clicking on “Rewind” and clear the graph by clicking
“Clear”.

Introduction:
We have seen the kinematics equations for translational motion in “Kinematics in one
dimension” simulation. In this simulation we are dealing with rotational kinematics. If the
motion is pure rotation, the equations can easily be rewritten by changing the translational
symbols to rotational. The symbols and the rotational kinematics equations are given below.
Angular displacement: units used for
angle are degrees and radians.
Linear quantities can be related to angular quantities as shown in the table to the left.

Click “Reset All” and check the position of the ladybug on the turntable. Set the angular
velocity in such a way that the turntable moves clockwise. What are the directions of
velocity and accelerations after the turntable rotates 180
