How to Find Angular Velocity

How to Find Angular Velocity

How do you calculate angular velocity?

Angular velocity is the rate of change of the position angle of an object with respect to time, so w = theta / t, where w = angular velocity, theta = position angle, and t = time.

How do you find final angular velocity?

The final angular velocity can be calculated from the definition of angular momentum, L = Iω. ω=LI=L12MR2 ω = L I = L 1 2 M R 2 . ω=9.75×10−2 kg⋅ m2/s(0.500)(4.00 kg)(0.260 m)=0.721 rad/s ω = 9.75 × 10 − 2 kg ⋅ m 2 /s ( 0.500 ) ( 4.00 kg ) ( 0.260 m ) = 0.721 rad/s .
