What is the difference between the term angular position and angular displacement?
Answers
Explanation:
Angular displacement is measured in units of radians. Two pi radians equals 360 degrees. ... Angular velocity is a vector quantity and has both a magnitude and a direction. The direction is the same as the the angular displacement direction from which we defined the angular velocity.
Angular Position- Angle made by position vector of a moving particle with respect to origin with reference line is known as angular position.
•It depends on the origin
•It also depends on the reference line.
In the attachment Theta that is denoted with (1) is angular position.
Angular Displacement- Angle rotated by the position vector of a moving particle in a time interval is known as angular displacement.
•It depend on the origin.
•It's unit is radian.
•It is a dimensionless quantity.
In the attachment ∆Theta which is denoted by (2) is angular displacement.
