21. An angular displacement of 90 degrees is equal to:

  • A. One-fourth revolution
  • B. One-third revolution
  • C. One half revolution
  • D. One complete revolution

Explanation: A full revolution is 360 degrees, so 90 degrees is a quarter of it, equivalent to pi over 2 radians. Half a revolution would be 180 degrees or pi radians. Converting between degrees, radians and revolutions is worth doing fluently, since rotational formulae require radians.

Correct answer: One-fourth revolution
