What is angular displacement?
Think about how far a wheel has turned.
If the radius of a circle is 2 meters and the angular displacement is pi radians, what is the linear displacement?
Use the formula \\(s = r \\cdot \\theta\\).
What does angular displacement measure?
Remember, it's about how much something has turned.
True or False: Linear displacement can be calculated without knowing the radius.
Think of the formula \\(s = r \\cdot \\theta\\).
A fan blade rotates a full revolution of 360 degrees. If the radius of the blade is 0.4 meters, how far does the tip of the blade travel?
Use the circumference formula: C = 2 * pi * r.
A bicycle wheel has a radius of 0.35 meters and rotates through 120 degrees. Calculate the linear displacement.
First convert the angle, then apply the formula!
