Angular Velocity
What is it?
Angular velocity is the velocity of an object which is in rotary motion. Angular velocity is measured in radians per second.
Give me an example!
Imagine a washer tied to a string that is swinging around in a circle (rotary motion). If you swing the washer at a constant velocity, you should be able to calculate how far it moves around the circle in one second of time. Then you could take the number of degrees of that angle and multiply it by pi radians per 180 degrees to find the angular velocity.
