Linear speed is the distance travelled per unit of time, while ​tangential speed (or tangential velocity)
is the linear speed of something moving along a circular path.[6] ​ A point on the outside edge of a
merry-go-round or t​ urntable travels a greater distance in one complete rotation than a point nearer
the center. Travelling a greater distance in the same time means a greater speed, and so linear
speed is greater on the outer edge of a rotating object than it is closer to the axis. This speed along
a circular path is known as tangential speed because the direction of motion is ​tangent to the
circumference of the circle. For circular motion, the terms linear speed and tangential speed are
used interchangeably, and both use units of m/s, km/h, and others.
Rotational speed (or angular speed) involves the number of revolutions per unit of time. All parts of a
rigid merry-go-round or turntable turn about the axis of rotation in the same amount of time. Thus, all
parts share the same rate of rotation, or the same number of rotations or revolutions per unit of time.
It is common to express rotational rates in revolutions per minute (RPM) or in terms of the number of
"radians" turned in a unit of time. There are little more than 6 radians in a full rotation (2π
​ radians
exactly). When a direction is assigned to rotational speed, it is known as rotational velocity or
angular velocity. Rotational velocity is a vector whose magnitude is the rotational speed.
Tangential speed and rotational speed are related: the greater the RPMs, the larger the speed in
metres per second. Tangential speed is directly proportional to rotational speed at any fixed distance
from the axis of rotation.​[6] However, tangential speed, unlike rotational speed, depends on radial
distance (the distance from the axis). For a platform rotating with a fixed rotational speed, the
tangential speed in the centre is zero. Towards the edge of the platform the tangential speed
increases proportional to the distance from the axis.​[7]​ In equation form:
