During an elbow flexion exercise, the relative angle at the elbow is 22 degrees at .3s and 155 degress at .62s. What is the angular velocity of the elbow?

Answer 1

To find the angular velocity, we need to determine the change in degrees over time. The change in degrees is 155 - 22 = 133 degrees. The change in time is 0.62 - 0.3 = 0.32 seconds. The angular velocity is then:

Angular velocity = (change in degrees) / (change in time)
Angular velocity = 133 degrees / 0.32 seconds
Angular velocity = 415.625 degrees/second
