Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The angular displacement of an object is the difference between its initial and final angular positions. Therefore, the correct choice is D, which is the difference between the final position and the initial position.

An Object Rotates from θ1 to θ2 Through an Angle

An Object Rotates from θ₁ to θ₂ Through an Angle
