Equations

In the case where the initial Angular Speed ($\omega_0$) is equal to the mean angular velocity ($\bar{\omega}$),

equation=15431

Therefore, with the difference of Angles ($\Delta\theta$), which is equal to the angle ($\theta$) divided by the initial Angle ($\theta_0$), we obtain:

equation=3680

And with the time elapsed ($\Delta t$), which is equal to the time ($t$) divided by the start Time ($t_0$), we obtain:

equation=4353

We can rewrite the equation for the mean angular velocity ($\bar{\omega}$) as:

equation=3679

This can be expressed as:

$\omega_0 = \omega = \displaystyle\frac{\Delta\theta}{\Delta t} = \displaystyle\frac{\theta - \theta_0}{t - t_0}$



Solving for it, we get:

and with the distance traveled in a time ($\Delta s$) expressed as an arc of a circle, and the radius ($r$) and the angle variation ($\Delta\theta$) are

and the definition of the mean angular velocity ($\bar{\omega}$) is

equation=3679

then,

$v=\displaystyle\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}=r\displaystyle\frac{\Delta\theta}{\Delta t}=r\omega$



Since the relationship is general, it can be applied for instantaneous values, resulting in

In the case of an intersection, two bodies are moving in such a way that they will meet at ERROR:10307,0 at time a intersection time ($t$).

To achieve this, each body:

• Begins its displacement at the initial time of first object ($t_1$) at the initial angle of the first body ($\theta_1$) with a angular velocity of body 1 ($\omega_1$).
• Begins its displacement at the initial time of second object ($t_2$) at the initial angle of the second body ($\theta_2$) with a angular velocity of body 2 ($\omega_2$).

These conditions must be met to achieve the intersection.

Thus, the angle over time diagrams can be overlaid as shown in the following representation:

In the case of an intersection or collision between two objects, it's common for the angular velocity of body 1 ($\omega_1$) and the angular velocity of body 2 ($\omega_2$) to be configured such that they coincide.

This means that the angle traveled by the first body ($\Delta\theta_1$) and the travel time of first object ($\Delta t_1$) must result in a angular velocity of body 1 ($\omega_1$),

equation=3679,1

so that, with the angle traveled by the second body ($\Delta\theta_2$) and the travel time of second object ($\Delta t_2$), we get a angular velocity of body 2 ($\omega_2$),

equation=3679,2

so that they finally coincide in time and space (position):

In the case of a movement where two objects intersect, such as the angle of intersection ($\theta$) and the intersection time ($t$), it is common for both. Therefore, if for the first object, the initial time of first object ($t_1$) and the initial angle of the first body ($\theta_1$) with the angular velocity of body 1 ($\omega_1$) fulfill:

equation=1023,1

and for the second object, the initial time of second object ($t_2$) and the initial angle of the second body ($\theta_2$) with the angular velocity of body 2 ($\omega_2$) fulfill:

In the case where the angular velocity is constant, the mean angular velocity ($\bar{\omega}$) coincides with the value of the initial Angular Speed ($\omega_0$), so

equation=15431

In this scenario, we can calculate the angle traveled as a function of time by recalling that it is associated with the difference between the current and initial angles, as well as the current and initial time. Therefore, the angle ($\theta$) is equal to the initial Angle ($\theta_0$), the initial Angular Speed ($\omega_0$), the time ($t$), and the start Time ($t_0$) as shown below:

To estimate the displacement of an object, it's necessary to know its the angular Speed ($\omega$) as a function of the time ($t$). Therefore, the the mean angular velocity ($\bar{\omega}$) is introduced, defined as the ratio between the angle variation ($\Delta\theta$) and the time elapsed ($\Delta t$).

To measure this, a system like the one shown in the image can be used:

image

To determine the average angular velocity, a reflective element is placed on the axis or on a disk with several reflective elements, and the passage is recorded to estimate the length of the arc $\Delta s$ and the angle associated with the radius $r$. Then the time difference when the mark passes in front of the sensor is recorded as $\Delta t$. The average angular velocity is determined by dividing the angle traveled by the time elapsed.



The equation that describes the average angular velocity is:

kyon

It should be noted that the average velocity is an estimation of the actual angular velocity. The main problem is that:

If the angular velocity varies during the elapsed time, the value of the average angular velocity can be very different from the average angular velocity.



Therefore, the key is:

Determine the velocity in a sufficiently short elapsed time to minimize its variation.
