How to Calculate Tangential Velocity and Acceleration

This tutorial goes over finding tangential velocity and acceleration of a spinning object. The lesson also makes some connections to the tangential components of circular motion to the linear motion of the vehicles that move by rolling on wheels, like bicycles.

This video is part of a full free course on engineering dynamics. The course covers linear motion, projectile motion, circular motion, kinetics, work & energy, impulse & momentum, and rigid body rotation.

Thanks for watching, I hope it helps!

Is there not such thing as tangential displacement?

You're good sir..keep it up.. I'm counting on you. Haha

This a great video love your teaching style please explain more topics

Thank you, now i can animate the rigid pendulum simulation in excel... 👍

this video wasnt relevant to me, i just watched your older video on how to solve matricies in the Ax=b form and it helped a lot, just wanna say your videos are great, thanks a lot

The speed is the same, but the velocity vector will not be the same.

Wow the content first 3 mins are what my prof fails to explain clearly lol

the video is too good that i am very hyper now although i just watched it for 4 mins and 7 seconds

[boom]

But how would I calculate the tangential velocity for x and y?

Maybe this is the first time i feel physics is fun to learn

If you continue this series, i am thinking about to support you on patreon. I need more practical problems. I am preparing for my exams soon. But still... thank you anyways.
