    How Do You Calculate Angular Acceleration and Speed from a Position Function?

    Thanks for your help, this makes much more sense to me now. I guess I can't do my physics assignment though. haha

    How Do You Calculate Angular Acceleration and Speed from a Position Function?

    I am still awaiting the derivative lecture in calculus. I expect this is why I am unable to continue in physics.

    How Do You Calculate Angular Acceleration and Speed from a Position Function?

    I am able to get the last two questions involving average angular speed and displacement because I can simply plug in the numbers but I don't know how to find the instantaneous values. I know how to find the speed up to that point but not specifically at that instant.

    How Do You Calculate Angular Acceleration and Speed from a Position Function?

    Homework Statement The angular position of a point on the rim of a 18.7 cm rotating wheel is given by θ(t) = 4.7 t2 − 7.2 t +9.7, where θ is measured in radians and t is measured in seconds. What is the instantaneous angular acceleration α of the point at time t = 6 s? What is the...

    Calculating Angular Speed for Proposed Space Station

    Homework Statement A proposed space station includes living quarters in a circular ring 61.0 m in diameter. At what angular speed should the ring rotate so the occupants feel that they have the same weight as they do on Earth? Homework Equations Angular speed = radians/second The...
