Mechanics
Rotational Kinematic 2
Rotational analog of x = x₀ + v₀t + ½at². Relates angular position to time.
Variables
θrad
Final angle
Angular position at time t
θ₀rad
Initial angle
Angular position at t=0
ω₀rad/s
Initial angular velocity
Angular velocity at t=0
αrad/s²
Angular acceleration
Constant angular acceleration
ts
Time
Elapsed time
Derivation
Integrate ω = ω₀ + αt: θ = ∫ω dt = ω₀t + ½αt² + θ₀.
