The smallest angle between starting and finishing position of a body
rads
degrees
3
Q
Angular Speed
A
The angular distance a body has rotated in a specific time
angular distance / time
rads/sec
degrees/sec
4
Q

A
The rate at which a body rotates
angular displacement / time
rads/sec
degrees/sec
5
Q

Q
Degrees <—-> Rads
A
1 rad = 57.3 degrees
1 degree = 0.0175 rads
180 degrees = 1pi radians
360 degrees = 2pi radians
540 degrees = 3pi radians
720 degrees = 4pi radians
