Angular Velocity
Angular velocity, abbreviated as \(\omega\) (Greek symbol omega), also called angular speed, is the speed that an object moves through an angle, θ. The calculation below calculates ω but does not calculate the relative velocity of a point as it moves throughout the curve.

\(\large{ \omega }\) (Greek symbol omega) = angular velocity | \(\large{\frac{deg}{sec}}\) | \(\large{\frac{rad}{s}}\) |
\(\large{ \Delta \theta }\) (Greek symbol theta) = angular displacement | \(\large{deg}\) | \(\large{rad}\) |
\(\large{ \Delta t }\) = time change | \(\large{sec}\) | \(\large{s}\) |
