4Angular velocity — Do not confuse with angular frequency The unit for angular velocity is rad/s.In physics, the angular velocity is a vector quantity (more precisely, a pseudovector) which specifies the angular speed, and axis about which an object is rotating. The …
5Angular frequency — Not to be confused with angular velocity. Angular frequency ω (in radians per second), is larger than frequency ν (in cycles per second, also called Hz), by a factor of 2π …
6Reference ellipsoid — In geodesy, a reference ellipsoid is a mathematically defined surface that approximates the geoid, the truer figure of the Earth, or other planetary body.Because of their relative simplicity, reference ellipsoids are used as a preferred surface… …
