Understanding Angular Velocity & Rotational Speed

Angular velocity ($\omega$) represents the rotational rate of an object around an axis ($\omega = \frac{d\theta}{dt}$). Linear tangential velocity is related by $v = r \omega$. Key units include radians per second ($\text{rad}/\text{s}$), revolutions per minute (RPM), and degrees per second ($^\circ/\text{s}$) ($1\text{ RPM} = \frac{\pi}{30}\text{ rad}/\text{s} \approx 0.10472\text{ rad}/\text{s}$).
