Chapter 8, pages 206 to 214, Sections 8.1 through 8.3
1. What is the axis of rotation? The center of all circular paths defined by a single, straight line.
2. Define angular displacement (use the simpler definition, not the one in the box). The angle through
which a rigid body rotates about a fixed axis.
3. What is the SI unit for angular displacement? radian (rad)
4. What are the three ways that express angular displacement? Angular displacement is expressed in
degrees, revolutions and radians.
5. What are the conversion factors among the three measurements? In other words, how do you convert
from degrees to radians, radians to revolutions, etc.? Because there are 360º in one full revolution, and
there are 2π radians in each revolution, we can set up our conversion factors dependent upon what we
want to convert, so we have:
360º 2π
From radians to degrees we use . From degrees to radians we use . From revolutions to

6. What are the positive and negative conventions for rotational motion? positive is counter-clockwise
motion while negative is clockwise motion.
7. Copy figure 8.3 with the explanation of the radian measurement.
In radian measure, the angle θ is defined to be the arc

length of s divided by the radius r
8. What is the angular displacement in radians of a disc that has rotated 255º on its axis relative to its starting
point? 4.45 rad
9. If an object spins to a halt, resulting in an angular displacement of 2,513 rads, how many revolutions did
the object turn? 400 rev
10. What is the symbol for angular velocity? ω omega, the Greek symbol
11. What is the equation for angular velocity?
angular displacement θ−θo Δθ
average angular velocity = = =
elapsed time t−¿ Δt
12. What are the units for angular velocity? rad/s
13. Copy example 3 “Gymnast on a High Bar” example into your notebooks.
14. What is instantaneous angular velocity? Instantaneous angular velocity is the angular velocity that
exists at any given instant.
15. What is the symbol for angular acceleration? α omega, the Greek symbol
16. What is the equation for angular velocity?
change∈angular velocity ω−ωo Δω
average angular acceleration = = =
elapsed time t−¿ Δt
17. What are the units for angular acceleration? rad/s2
18. Copy example 4 “A jet Revving Its Engines” into your notebooks.
19. Copy table 8.1 “The Equations of Kinematics for Rotational and Linear Motion” into your notebook.
Compare and contrast the equations.
Both sets of equations can be used to

determine displacement, time, velocities
and accelerations in the same
mathematical patterns, but one set is used
to determine linear quantities while one
set is used to determine rotational
quantities, or those that go in a circle.
20. From page 225, do problems 1, 5, 7, 17, 19, and 20.

1. A diver completes 3 ½ somersaults in 1.7 seconds. What is the average angular speed (in rad/s) of the
diver?

revolutions per minute (rpm). At the end of the music, the CD is rotating at 210 rmp. Find the magnitude of the
average angular acceleration of the CD (in rad/s2).

decreases from 83.8 rad/s in 1.75 s. The deceleration is 42.0 rad/s2. Determine the initial angular speed of the
fan.
