Rotational Kinematics

Rotational kinematics Studies how objects move and rotate around an axis without considering the forces causing the motion. It describes parameters such as angular displacement (the angle an object rotates through), angular velocity (how fast it's rotating), and angular acceleration (how quickly its rotation speed changes). These concepts help us understand motions like spinning wheels, rotating planets, or any object that turns around a fixed point. Essentially, it's the study of how things rotate, focusing on their movement characteristics over time without delving into what causes the rotation.
