Study Guide Overview

This study guide covers rotational motion in AP Physics 1, including: rotational kinematics (angular displacement, velocity, and acceleration), torque and angular acceleration (Newton's 2nd Law for Rotation, moment of inertia), angular momentum and its conservation, and how these concepts relate to linear motion. It also provides key equations, common question types, and exam tips.

Question 1 of 11

A bicycle wheel is rotating. If the linear velocity of a point on the edge of the wheel is vvv, and the radius of the wheel is rrr, what is the angular velocity, ω\omegaω, of the wheel? 🚴

ω=v⋅r\omega = v \cdot rω=v⋅r

ω=v/r\omega = v/rω=v/r

ω=r/v\omega = r/vω=r/v

ω=v2/r\omega = v^2 / rω=v2/r
