A spinning globe is slowed at a constant acceleration of 0.750 rad/s2 until it stops. One of the points on the equator moves 23.0° in the first 0.700 s of the slowing phase. (a) Find the total angular displacement of the globe during the acceleration phase. (b) Find the initial angular speed of the globe.
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.
