Angular Speed Formula Explained

Angular speed is the rate at which an object changes its angle over time and is calculated by taking the change in angle in radians divided by the time period. It is represented by the Greek letter ω (omega) and has units of radians/second. While angular speed is a scalar quantity, angular velocity is a vector quantity that also uses the same calculation but includes directional information.

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.
