CLAIMED By Josh Mathew
Angular Velocity describes the rate of change around a center of mass. It is measured in radians/second.
The Main Idea
In order to find out the velocity of things which revolve around a body we have to take account not just speed but also the radius of which it is revolving around. In order to figure out the direction of angular velocity we can use the Right hand rule.
A Mathematical Model
ω = R/v ω= The greek symbol of omega symbolizes angular velocity R= The radius of the body of which is rotates, measured in radians V= Linear Velocity
ω = dθ/dt
dθ= rate of change of the radians or degrees dt= rate of change of time throughout the interval
A Computational Model
How do we visualize or predict using this topic. Consider embedding some vpython code here Teach hands-on with GlowScript
Examples
Be sure to show all steps in your solution and include diagrams whenever possible
Simple
A car travels with a velocity of 10 m/s and revolves around a track with a radius of 12 meters. What is the angular velocity?
Relevant equations: ω = R/v R= 12 meters v= 10 m/s Plug and Chug the variables into the equation ω = (12 meters) / (10 m/s) = 1.2 rads/sec
