is angular displacement a vector quantity?

Answer 1

scalar..cuz it does not follow the law of vector addition

Answer 2

then how is angular velocity a vector ?? angular vel is the 1st order time derivative of angular disp , so if angular disp is not a vector , then how is angluar vel???

Answer 3

It is a pseudo vector

Answer 4
