A 1.0-kg mass hangs on a rope wrapped around a frictionless disk pulley of mass 5 kg and radius 0.5 m. What is the acceleration of the mass? (The moment of inertia of the pulley is 1/2MR2.)
Angular speed, acceleration and displacement
Angular acceleration is defined as the rate of change in angular velocity with respect to time. It has both magnitude and direction. So, it is a vector quantity.
Angular Position
Before diving into angular position, one should understand the basics of position and its importance along with usage in day-to-day life. When one talks of position, it’s always relative with respect to some other object. For example, position of earth with respect to sun, position of school with respect to house, etc. Angular position is the rotational analogue of linear position.
