The video tutorial explains how to describe rotation in three dimensions using vectors and angular velocity. It begins with a review of two-dimensional rotation, including the use of positive and negative numbers to indicate direction. The concept of radians is introduced for conversion purposes. In three dimensions, rotation is described using vectors, with the right-hand rule determining vector direction. The tutorial concludes by linking these concepts to three-dimensional curl and fluid flow.

What is the main challenge in describing rotation in three dimensions?

• Calculating the mass of the object

• Identifying the axis of rotation

• Finding the speed of rotation

• Determining the color of the object

In two-dimensional rotation, what does a positive number indicate?

• Clockwise rotation

• Counterclockwise rotation

• No rotation

• Random rotation

How is the rate of rotation typically expressed in physics and math?

• Rotations per minute

• Degrees per second

• Radians per second
