Homework Statement
Using your data from trial one, calculate angular velocity w, and angular acceleration, a
My data from trial one is period of rotation=.791s
Homework Equations
w=(change in angle/change in time)
a=(change in angular velocity/ change in time)
The Attempt at a Solution
avg w=360deg/.791s= 455deg/s
avg a=(455deg/s)/.791= 575deg/s^2
I believe this is correct but I thought I would ask anyways. I asked my teacher several days ago whether the question was asking for average or instantaneous velocity/acceleration and he hasn't responded and it is past due so if anyone would like to comment on what they think about that.( The question I posted is word for word) also I am having trouble understanding the concept of instantaneous angular velocity because as the time is approaching zero then so is the angle so I don't see the point. thanks in advance for any help.
