Linear velocity, angular velocity

Posted: March 1, 2021 in Pre-Calculus II ( formerly Pre-Cal)

Linear velocity is nothing more than the velocity of an object in a straight line, whereas angular velocity is how much an objects spins, rotates, or turns.Angular Velocity - in Physics - Assignment Point

Linear velocity measures how fast a position changes

Problems Linear and Angular Velocity

Clock Hands: The angular velocity is independent of the clock size, however for larger clocks the linear velocity of the pointers at the end of the hands will be greater. The second hand goes through 2π radians in 1 min, or 2π radian/60 seconds, so ω = π/30 rad.
