Angular displacement — of a body is the angle in radians (degrees, revolutions) through which a point or line has been rotated in a specified sense about a specified axis.When an object rotates about its axis, the motion cannot simply be analyzed as a particle, since… … Wikipedia
Angular acceleration — is the rate of change of angular velocity over time. In SI units, it is measured in radians per second squared (rad/s2), and is usually denoted by the Greek letter alpha ({alpha},). Mathematical definition The angular acceleration can be defined… … Wikipedia
Angular resolution — describes the resolving power of any image forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye. Definition of terms Resolving power is the ability of the components of an imaging device to measure the angular… … Wikipedia

Angular velocity — Do not confuse with angular frequency The unit for angular velocity is rad/s.In physics, the angular velocity is a vector quantity (more precisely, a pseudovector) which specifies the angular speed, and axis about which an object is rotating. The … Wikipedia
angular velocity — Physics. the time rate of change of angular position of a rotating body, usually expressed in radians per second or radians per minute. [1810 20] * * * time rate at which an object rotates, or revolves, about an axis, or at which the angular… … Universalium
Angular diameter — The angular diameter or apparent size of an object as seen from a given position is the “visual diameter” of the object measured as an angle. In the vision sciences it is called the visual angle. The visual diameter is the diameter of the… … Wikipedia
