Angular Velocity given Tangential Velocity Calculator

Calculate Angular Velocity





Formula

The formula to calculate Angular Velocity (ω) is:

\[ ω = \frac{vt}{Rc} \]

Where:

Definition

Angular Velocity refers to how fast an object rotates or revolves relative to another point, i.e., how fast the angular position or orientation of an object changes with time.

Tangential Velocity is the linear speed of any object moving along a circular path.

Radius of Curvature is the reciprocal of the curvature.

How to calculate Angular Velocity given Tangential Velocity and Radius of Curvature

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ ω = \frac{vt}{Rc} \]

Evaluating:

\[ ω = \frac{360}{15} \]

The Angular Velocity is 24.
