m1v1 = m2v2
v = rω
m1(rω)1 = m2(rω)2
m1ω1 = m2ω2
Does this make sense?
v = rω
m1(rω)1 = m2(rω)2
m1ω1 = m2ω2
Does this make sense?

Angular velocity is a measure of how fast an object is rotating around an axis. In the context of linear momentum equations, it refers to the rate of change of angular momentum, which is the product of an object's moment of inertia and its angular velocity.
Angular velocity and linear momentum are related through the moment of inertia, which is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion. In the equation for angular momentum, angular velocity is multiplied by the moment of inertia to give linear momentum.
The units of angular velocity in linear momentum equations are radians per second (rad/s). This is because angular velocity is defined as the change in angle per unit of time.
Angular velocity affects linear momentum by influencing an object's rotational motion. As angular velocity increases, so does the object's angular momentum, which in turn affects its linear momentum. In other words, a change in angular velocity can result in a change in linear momentum.
Angular velocity in linear momentum equations has many practical applications, such as in understanding the movement of objects in space, calculating the trajectory of projectiles, and analyzing the motion of rotating machinery. It is also used in sports, such as in calculating the angular velocity of a spinning ball in sports like baseball or tennis.
