  1. angular velocity

    Angular velocity is a measure of the rate of change of an angle with respect to time. It is a vector quantity, representing the speed of rotation and the orientation of the axis of rotation. In physics and engineering, it is usually represented by the symbol omega (ω). This concept is widely used in fields such as rotational mechanics, physics, engineering, and physical sciences.

  1. Angular velocity

    In physics, the angular velocity is defined as the rate of change of angular displacement and is a vector quantity which specifies the angular speed of an object and the axis about which the object is rotating. The SI unit of angular velocity is radians per second, although it may be measured in other units such as degrees per second, degrees per hour, etc. Angular velocity is usually represented by the symbol omega. The direction of the angular velocity vector is perpendicular to the plane of rotation, in a direction which is usually specified by the right-hand rule.

The Standard Electrical Dictionary

  1. Angular Velocity

    The velocity of a body moving in a circular path, measured with reference to the angle it passes over in one second multiplied by the radius and divided by the time. A unit angle is taken (57°.29578 = 57° 17' 44".8 nearly) such that it is subtended by a portion of the circumference equal in length to the radius. Hence, the circumference, which is 360°, is equal to 2*PI*unit angle, PI being equal to 3.1416--. "Unit angular velocity" is such as would in a circle of radius = 1 represent a path = 1, traversed in unit time = 1 second. If the radius is r and the angle passed over is theta, the distance is proportional to r*theta; if this distance is traversed in t seconds the angular velocity is theta / t. The angular velocity, if it is multiplied by r, theta expressing a distance, will give the linear velocity. The dimensions of angular velocity are an angle (= arc / radius) / a Time = (L/L)/T = (T^-1). The velocity expressed by the rate of an arc of a circle of unit radius, which arc subtends an angle of 57° 17' 44".8, such arc being traversed in unit time, is unit angular velocity.
