Audio CD players read their discs at a precise, constant rate (4.3218 Mbit/s of raw physical data for 1.4112 Mbit/s (176.4 KB/s) of usable audio data) and thus must vary the disc's rotational speed from 8 Hz (480 rpm) when reading at the innermost edge to 3.5 Hz (210 rpm) at the outer edge. [2]
The rotation rate of the Earth (Ω = 7.2921 × 10 −5 rad/s) can be calculated as 2π / T radians per second, where T is the rotation period of the Earth which is one sidereal day (23 h 56 min 4.1 s). [2] In the midlatitudes, the typical value for is about 10 −4 rad/s.
= 1 Hz = 1/s radian per second: rad/s ≡ 1/(2π) Hz ≈ 0.159 155 Hz: revolution per minute: rpm ≡ One rpm equals one rotation completed around a fixed axis in one minute of time. ≈ 0.104 719 755 rad/s
2π rad ≈ 6.283 185 307 ... As an angular unit, one turn also corresponds to one cycle (symbol cyc or c) [1] or to one revolution (symbol rev or r). [2]
is the motor velocity, or motor speed, [2] constant (not to be confused with kV, the symbol for kilovolt), measured in revolutions per minute (RPM) per volt or radians per volt second, rad/V·s: [3]
A typical choice of characteristic frequency is the sampling rate that is used to create the digital signal from a continuous one.The normalized quantity, ′ =, has the unit cycle per sample regardless of whether the original signal is a function of time or distance.
Cycles per second may be denoted by c.p.s., c/s, or, ambiguously, just "cycles" (Cyc., Cy., C, or c). The term comes from repetitive phenomena such as sound waves having a frequency measurable as a number of oscillations, or cycles, per second.
There is a specific acuity limit in detecting an approaching object's looming motion. [40] [41] This is regarded as the subtended angular velocity detection threshold (SAVT) limit of visual acuity. [42] It has a practical value of 0.0275 rad/s. [43]
