Formel
ω = v / r (from linear velocity); v = ω × r (linear velocity); ω = 2πf (from frequency); ω = 2π / T (from period).
Häufig gestellte Fragen
What is angular velocity?
Angular velocity (ω) is the rate of change of an angle with respect to time. It measures how fast an object rotates or revolves around an axis, expressed in radians per second (rad/s).
How do I convert RPM to rad/s?
Multiply RPM by 2π and divide by 60. For example, 60 RPM = 60 × 2π / 60 = 2π ≈ 6.283 rad/s.
What is the difference between angular and linear velocity?
Linear velocity (v) measures how fast a point moves along a straight path (m/s), while angular velocity (ω) measures how fast it rotates around an axis (rad/s). They are related by v = ω × r, where r is the radius.
