Rotational Kinematics
Angular Position, Velocity, & Acceleration for Non-uniform Circular Motion
This section will cover the kinematics (motion) of objects undergoing non-Uniform Circular Motion (nUCM). Objects in UCM travel in a circle but potentially change their speed. Examples include a spinning disk, a loop-the-loop on a roller coaster, a race car speeding out of a semi-circular corner, or children on a merry-go-round that slowing down. Much like linear kinematics, rotational kinematics uses position, velocity, and acceleration to describe the motion.
