Angular velocity, time rate at which an object rotates, or revolves, about an axis, or at which the angular displacement between two bodies changes. In the figure, this displacement is represented by the angle θ between a line on one body and a line on the other.
It is less common than linear velocity since it only concerns objects that are moving along a circular path.
For example, a roulette ball on a roulette wheel, a race car on a circular path, and a Ferris wheel are all examples of angular velocity.
radians per second
The units for angular velocity are radians per second (rad/s).
