Chapter 3 Precal

1) There are two types of velocity associated with rotational motion: linear velocity, which is the distance traveled per unit of time, and angular velocity, which is the number of degrees rotated per unit of time. 2) Key terms used to describe rotational motion include radius (r), arc length (a), angle of rotation (θ), linear velocity (ν), and angular velocity (ω). 3) The relationship between angular velocity (ω), measured in radians per unit of time, and linear velocity (ν) of a point on a rotating object is described by ν = rω, where r is the radius.

rotary motion

2 types of speed (velocity) when talking


about a point on a rotating object
 linear velocity = the distance an object
travels per unit of time

 ¿❑
t
 angular velocity = the number of
degrees per unit of time that an object
rotates through
a
 ¿
t
general sinusoidal equation radians = equivalent of units (stay in radians
most of the time)
y = C + A cos B( - D) or y = C + A sin B( - D), where
symbols that help with rotary motion:
 |A| is the amplitude (A is the vertical dilation, which can be positive or negative).
r = radius from center of object
 B is the reciprocal of the horizontal dilation/
a = arc length that point travels
 C is the location of the sinusoidal axis (vertical translation).
 D is the phase displacement (horizontal translation).  = angle through which the point rotates
(usually in radians, but not always)
period and frequency of a sinusoid  = linear velocity, in distance per time
for general equations,  = angular velocity (often in radians per unit
of time)
1 1 |B|
period = (360°) and frequency = = t = length of time to rotate through a
|B| period 360 ° particular angle 
if  is in radians and  is in radians per unit
point of inflection = points on the sinusoidal axis where the graph changes concavity of time, then..
 types of concavity:  a=r
 concave up: make a cup; or w/e way you jump to get to the sinusoidal axis
 ¿r
 concave down: make a frown
 no concavity: points of inflection

converting radians and degrees

180° degrees
=
π radians
arc length
radian =
radius
to subtend an arc = to cut off
one period = 360 = 2 π radians
x = radians
 = degrees

measures of some special angles


degrees radians revolutions
30 Π/6 1/12
45 Π/4 1/8
60 Π/3 1/6
90 Π/2 1/4
180 Π 1/2
360 2Π 1

arccosine, the inverse cosine relation


general formula:
arccos x = ± cos-1 x + 2πn
