How To Work Out Angular Velocity?

Use the formula: angular velocity = change in angle ÷ time

Write it as ω = Δθ / Δt

Measure the angle in radians

Measure the time in seconds

Calculate the difference in angle between the start and end positions

Divide the angle change by the time taken

Use the result in radians per second

For circular motion, use ω = v / r

In this formula, v is linear speed and r is radius

If you know frequency, use ω = 2πf

If you know period, use ω = 2π / T

Make sure all units are consistent before calculating
