  2. Angular velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_velocity

    In physics, angular velocity (symbol ω or , the lowercase Greek letter omega), also known as angular frequency vector, [1] is a pseudovector representation of how the angular position or orientation of an object changes with time, i.e. how quickly an object rotates (spins or revolves) around an axis of rotation and how fast the axis itself changes direction.

  3. Angular frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_frequency

    Angular frequency (or angular speed) is the magnitude of the pseudovector quantity angular velocity. [1] Angular frequency can be obtained multiplying rotational frequency, ν (or ordinary frequency, f) by a full turn (2 π radians): ω = 2 π rad⋅ν. It can also be formulated as ω = dθ/dt, the instantaneous rate of change of the angular ...

  4. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    The angular velocity is defined as /, where T is the rotation period, hence =. Thus, tangential speed will be directly proportional to r when all parts of a system simultaneously have the same ω , as for a wheel, disk, or rigid wand.

  5. Angular mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_mechanics

    In physics, angular mechanics is a field of mechanics which studies rotational movement. It studies things such as angular momentum , angular velocity , and torque . It also studies more advanced things such as Coriolis force [ 1 ] and Angular aerodynamics .

  6. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    Angular momentum in scalar form is the mass times the distance to the origin times the transverse velocity, or equivalently, the mass times the distance squared times the angular speed. The sign convention for angular momentum is the same as that for angular velocity. = = where is mass

  7. Rotation around a fixed axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_around_a_fixed_axis

    Change in angular displacement per unit time is called angular velocity with direction along the axis of rotation. The symbol for angular velocity is and the units are typically rad s −1. Angular speed is the magnitude of angular velocity.

  8. Rotational frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_frequency

    Rotational frequency, also known as rotational speed or rate of rotation (symbols ν, lowercase Greek nu, and also n), is the frequency of rotation of an object around an axis. Its SI unit is the reciprocal seconds (s −1 ); other common units of measurement include the hertz (Hz), cycles per second (cps), and revolutions per minute (rpm).

  9. Radian per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radian_per_second

    The radian per second (symbol: rad⋅s −1 or rad/s) is the unit of angular velocity in the International System of Units (SI). The radian per second is also the SI unit of angular frequency (symbol ω, omega). The radian per second is defined as the angular frequency that results in the angular displacement increasing by one radian every ...
