A wheel has a radius of 35 cm and is spinning at a rate of 2 radians/s. The wheel is marked 10 cm away from the tire and on the tire. Explain why the outside mark is travelling faster in cm/s then the inside mark even though both are moving at the same angular velocity.
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.
