Angular Speed Formula

Angular speed is the rate at which an object changes its angle (measured) in
radians, in a given time period. Angular speed has a magnitude (a value) only.
Angular speed = (final angle) - (initial angle) / time = change in position/time
= /t
= angular speed in radians/sec
= angle in radians (2 radians = 360 degrees)
t = time, sec
Angular speed and angular velocity use the same formula; the difference
between the two is that Angular speed is a scalar quantity, while angular
velocity is a vector quantity.
