in rigid body dynamics is this relation between velocity of centre of mas and velocity of any particle in the rigid body correct?
vcm = vp + rXω

r
is the position vector of the particle with respect to centre of mass

relations are written in vector form and also tell me how to calculate direction of ω.

ω=(v × r) /r^2
what is v here sir?
