angular velocity of rotation
1Angular 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 …
2angular velocity — noun The angle turned, in a given time, by a body rotating about an axis; the rate of rotation through an angle. See Also: angular acceleration …
3angular velocity — noun Date: 1672 the rate of rotation around an axis usually expressed in radians or revolutions per second or per minute …
4Orders of magnitude (angular velocity) — Orders of magnitude area | angular velocity | charge | currency | data | density | energy | force | frequency …
5Angular displacement — of a body is the angle in radians (degrees, revolutions) through which a point or line has been rotated in a specified sense about a specified axis.When an object rotates about its axis, the motion cannot simply be analyzed as a particle, since… …
6Angular acceleration — is the rate of change of angular velocity over time. In SI units, it is measured in radians per second squared (rad/s2), and is usually denoted by the Greek letter alpha ({alpha},). Mathematical definition The angular acceleration can be defined… …
7constant angular velocity — Abbreviated CAV. An unchanging speed of rotation. Hard disks use a CAV encoding scheme. The constant rate of rotation means that sectors on the disk are at the maximum density along the inside track of the disk. As the read/write heads move… …
8Rotation around a fixed axis — Rotational motion can occur around more than one axis at once, and can involve phenomena such as wobbling and precession. Rotation around a fixed axis is a special case of rotational motion, which does not involve those phenomena. The kinematics… …
9Angular momentum — For a generally accessible and less technical introduction to the topic, see Introduction to angular momentum. Classical mechanics Newton s Second Law …
10Velocity — In physics, velocity is defined as the rate of change of position. It is a vector physical quantity; both speed and direction are required to define it. In the SI (metric) system, it is measured in meters per second: (m/s) or ms 1. The scalar… …
