A mass is moving in a horizontal circle of radious 4m and with linear velocity of3 m/s. Caculate:
The angular speed.

How do i convert the linear velocity into angular speed?

 

[independantz]

v=rw, where w is the angular velocity, ( this is a 4 unit formula, no idea how you do it in physics)

w=v/r=3/4

thus, the angular speed is 3/4

wow cool.
That'll come in handy for 4unit to. Thanks

angular velocity = linear velocity/ radius

= 3/4
= 0.75 m/s


Enjoy. Another way for your reference is angular velocity = 2π(pi)/T where T = period of one revolution.
