Next Vista for Learning: Angular Velocity Vectors Right Hand Rule

The left hand rule, also known as Fleming's rule, is covered here with explanations and pictures to help undertanding. Examples of electric motors and generator use are given. A helpful set of slides which will help early physics...

Niki and Megan share the right hand rule for angular velocity vectors. This visual demonstration employed a bicycle wheel and Niki's right hand. This clip could be a helpful way to demonstrate the right hand rule in class. You could have...

Physicists use a hand mnemonic known as the right-hand rule to help remember the direction of magnetic forces. The right-hand rule is based on the underlying physics that relates magnetic fields and the forces that they exert on moving...

Learn how to find the direction component of torque with this video. Review vector quantities to understand how to apply the right hand rule to a torque problem. [10:00]

Learn the convention for describing the direction of magnetic fields. Challenge questions are included.

Do curves slow runners down or help their speed? Pupils simulate a 200-meter dash to calculate the angular and linear velocity of a runner. They then determine whether the runner is faster around the curved section of the track...

Learners establish the angular velocity of the Sun and determine how long it takes the Sun to make one complete revolution. They determine what angular velocity is and how it can be useful in determining the speed and direction of any...

Watch as Sal Khan predicts which spinning disc has a larger radius from angular velocity and the linear velocity of a point on the edge. [3:58]

Sal Khan explains how to derive the formula for centripetal acceleration in terms of angular velocity using linear speed formula. [5:29]

A video discussing uniform circular motion, Learn how in uniform circular motion, angular velocity is a vector quantity and is equal to the angular displacement divided by the change in time. [7:30]
