Question

The angular displacement of a hoop travels in a circle is 4 rad, the radius of the hoop makes is 0.5m calculate the hoopsTangential displacement

Answer 1

Hi there!

We can relate linear displacement to angular displacement with the following;

$\large\boxed{d = \theta r}$

d = tangential/linear displacement (m)

θ = angular displacement (rad)

r = radius (m)

Plug in the givens:

$d = (4)(0.5) = \boxed{2.0 m}$
