Szögelfordulást

Szögelfordulást is a Hungarian term that translates to "angular displacement" in English. It refers to the change in angular position of an object that is rotating about an axis. Unlike linear displacement, which measures the straight-line distance an object has moved, angular displacement measures the amount of rotation.

Angular displacement is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude represents the amount of rotation, typically measured in radians or degrees. The direction indicates the axis of rotation and the sense of rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise). For example, a positive angular displacement might represent a counterclockwise rotation, while a negative one would be clockwise.

This concept is fundamental in physics and engineering, particularly in the study of rotational motion. It is used to describe the movement of spinning objects like wheels, planets, or any rotating machinery. Understanding angular displacement is crucial for calculating angular velocity and angular acceleration, which in turn are used to analyze the dynamics of rotating systems. It is a key parameter in trigonometry and is applied in fields ranging from astronomy to mechanics.
