Rotational Kinematics

 

1D Linear Motion	Rotation about a Fixed Axis
basic definitions
displacement x	angular displacement
velocity, v = dx/dt	angular velocity
acceleration, a = dv/dt	angular acceleration
Kinematic Equations
v = vi + a t
x = xi + vi t + (1/2) a t2
v2 = vi2 + 2 a ( x - xi )

Angular Quantities			Angular and Linear Connection
