A cylinder of radius 2.59 cm and a sphere of radius 8.72 cm are rolling without slipping along the same floor. The two objects have the same mass. If they are to have the same total kinetic energy, what should the ratio of the cylinder's angular speed ?cyl to the sphere's angular speed ?sph be?
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.
