A fan blade with a diameter of 1.373 m is rotating at a rate of 3898 revolutions per minute. A piece of gum that is attached to the end of the fan blade suddenly becomes loose while its velocity vecor was momentarily pointing straight up. How long will it take for the piece of gum to come back down? Assume that there is no air resistance
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.
