Additional information

Angular velocity denoted by the symbol (ω) "omega", is a vector quantity that measures the rate of change of an object’s angular displacement with respect to time. It describes how fast an object is rotating or spinning around a fixed point or axis.

Mathematically, angular velocity is calculated as the change in angular displacement divided by the change in time:

ω = \frac{Δ θ}{Δ t}

Where:

ω is the angular velocity
Δθ is the change in angular displacement
Δt is the change in time

The standard unit for angular velocity in the International System of Units (SI) is radians per second (rad/s). It represents the rate of change of angular displacement in radians with respect to time in seconds.

Other units, such as degrees per second (°/s) or revolutions per minute (RPM), can also be used to express angular velocity, but radians per second is the standard unit used in scientific and engineering applications.
