What direction does the angular velocity vector of the Earth's rotation point toward?
The Earth's angular velocity vector due to its axial rotation points towards the north pole.
What is the Relation between angular velocity and frequency?
If there is a rotation, "angular velocity" and "angular frequency" is the same thing. However, "angular frequency" can also refer to situations where there is no rotation.
Where does the angular velocity vector of the Earth rotation points?
Up out of the north pole. (And down into the south pole.)
How do you find out the direction of angular accelaration?
The direction of angular acceleration comes from whether the angular speed of the object is clockwise or counterclockwise and whether it is speeding up or slowing down.The direction of the angular acceleration will be positive if the angular velocity is counterclockwise and the object's rotation is speeding up or if the angular velocity is clockwise and the object's rotation is slowing downThe direction of the angular acceleration will be negative if the angular velocity is clockwise and the object's rotation is speeding up or if the angular velocity is counterclockwise and the object's rotation is slowing downThe angular acceleration will not have a direction if the object's angular velocity is constant
Is the direction of angular velocity same as that of angular momentum when agular velocity is decreasing?
Yes, suppose a body is rotating anti-clockwise, then its angular velocity and angular momentum, at any moment are along axis of rotation in upward direction. And when body is rotating clockwise, its angular velocity and angular momentum are along axis of rotation in downward direction. This is regardless of the fact whether angular velocity of the body is increasing or decreasing.
How is the radius of rotation related to the centripetal force and angular velocity?
Assuming that angles are measured in radians, and angular velocity in radians per second (this simplifies formulae): Radius of rotation is unrelated to angular velocity. Linear velocity = angular velocity x radius Centripetal acceleration = velocity squared / radius Centripetal acceleration = (angular velocity) squared x radius Centripetal force = mass x acceleration = mass x (angular velocity) squared x radius
What are the practical applications of Angular Speed Angular Displacement Angular Velocity and Angular Momentum?
These are used in lots of engineering problems related to rotation.
How is angular velocity related to tangential velocity?
The time, T , it takes for an object to go thru one comblete rotation of 360 degrees or 2pi radians is its "period." The rate at which it completes the rotation is its "angular velocity." The rate is the angle (in radians) divided by the time. So , Angular Velocity = 2 pi / T.
What is the difference betweentangential velocity or angular velocity?
angular velocity s the rotational analague of linear velocity...direction of linear velocity s along tangent to the circle while that of angulr velocity s along the axis of rotation.the direction of angular v can be find by right hand rule which state that if the axis of rotation s held n right hand with fingers curled round the direction of rotation then the thumb will mark the direction of angular velocity.... the magnitude of angular velocity that s the angular speed is represented by the length of the line along the axis of rotation...its units are rad/sec,degrees/sec or revolution/sec while that of linear velocity s m/sec...
What is an angular speed of a rotating body?
Angular velocity is given as radians per second; angular speed is also the same thing. Velocity is a vector with magnitude and direction and speed a scalar with magnitude only. The magnitude is identical; velocity will define the direction of rotation ( clockwise or counterclockwise).
Why are you not affected by the earth's rotation?
Because we are being carried round with it, and the angular velocity is not sufficient to overcome gravity.
Using the linear velocity of the points on the outside of gear 2 found in step b and the radius of gear 2find the gears angular velocity?
using the linear velocity of the points on the outside of gear 2,found in step b,and the radius of gear 2, find the gears angular velocity.
