Question

Angular displacement is defined as the angle an object rotates through during a specific
Options
A time interval.
Correct Answer
B arc length.
C radius.
D revolution.
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Angular displacement, denoted by Δθ, is defined as the change in angular position over a given time interval. Its SI unit is the radian.

Hint

This quantity describes how much rotation occurs, and its definition is analogous to linear displacement, which requires a time interval.
