  2. Angular displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_displacement

    The angular displacement (symbol θ, ϑ, or φ) – also called angle of rotation, rotational displacement, or rotary displacement – of a physical body is the angle (in units of radians, degrees, turns, etc.) through which the body rotates (revolves or spins) around a centre or axis of rotation.

    In classical mechanics, Euler's rotation equations are a vectorial quasilinear first-order ordinary differential equation describing the rotation of a rigid body, using a rotating reference frame with angular velocity ω whose axes are fixed to the body. They are named in honour of Leonhard Euler. Their general vector form is

  8. Pendulum (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_(mechanics)

    The animations below depict the motion of a simple (frictionless) pendulum with increasing amounts of initial displacement of the bob, or equivalently increasing initial velocity. The small graph above each pendulum is the corresponding phase plane diagram; the horizontal axis is displacement and the vertical axis is velocity. With a large ...

  9. Angular velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_velocity

    In physics, angular velocity (symbol ω or , the lowercase Greek letter omega), also known as angular frequency vector, [1] is a pseudovector representation of how the angular position or orientation of an object changes with time, i.e. how quickly an object rotates (spins or revolves) around an axis of rotation and how fast the axis itself changes direction.
