What is Angular Velocity? | Learn About Angular Velocity

Click For Summary
Angular velocity is a measure of the rate of rotation of an object around a specific axis, typically expressed in radians per second. It quantifies how quickly an object rotates and is crucial in fields such as physics and engineering. The concept can be understood through its relationship with linear velocity, where angular velocity is the linear velocity divided by the radius of the circular path. Resources like HyperPhysics provide detailed explanations and formulas related to angular velocity. Understanding this concept is essential for applications involving rotational motion.

Thread 'Is energy really conserved?'

I built a device designed to brake angular velocity which seems to work based on below, i used a flexible shaft that could bow up and down so i could visually see what was happening for the prototypes. If you spin two wheels in opposite directions each with a magnitude of angular momentum L on a rigid shaft (equal magnitude opposite directions), then rotate the shaft at 90 degrees to the momentum vectors at constant angular velocity omega, then the resulting torques oppose each other...
