  2. Revolutions per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_per_minute

    Thus a disc rotating at 60 rpm is said to have an angular speed of 2π rad/s and a rotation frequency of 1 Hz. The International System of Units (SI) does not recognize rpm as a unit. It defines units of angular frequency and angular velocity as rad s −1, and units of frequency as Hz, equal to s −1.

  3. Radian per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radian_per_second

    The radian per second (symbol: rads −1 or rad/s) is the unit of angular velocity in the International System of Units (SI). The radian per second is also the SI unit of angular frequency (symbol ω, omega). The radian per second is defined as the angular frequency that results in the angular displacement increasing by one radian every ...

  4. Rotational frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_frequency

    Its angular frequency is 360 degrees per second (360°/s), or 2π radians per second (2π rad/s), while the rotational frequency is 60 rpm. Rotational frequency is not to be confused with tangential speed, despite some relation between the two concepts. Imagine a merry-go-round with a constant rate of rotation.

  5. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    Now, if this motor is fed with current of 2 A and assuming that back-EMF is exactly 2 V, it is rotating at 7200 rpm and the mechanical power is 4 W, and the force on rotor is = N or 0.0053 N. The torque on shaft is 0.0053 N⋅m at 2 A because of the assumed radius of the rotor (exactly 1 m).

  6. Angular velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_velocity

    The SI unit of angular velocity is radians per second, [3] although degrees per second (°/s) is also common. The radian is a dimensionless quantity , thus the SI units of angular velocity are dimensionally equivalent to reciprocal seconds , s −1 , although rad/s is preferable to avoid confusion with rotation velocity in units of hertz (also ...

  7. Angular frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_frequency

    A sphere rotating around an axis. Points farther from the axis move faster, satisfying ω = v / r.. In physics, angular frequency (symbol ω), also called angular speed and angular rate, is a scalar measure of the angle rate (the angle per unit time) or the temporal rate of change of the phase argument of a sinusoidal waveform or sine function (for example, in oscillations and waves).

  8. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    Tangential speed is the speed of an object undergoing circular motion, i.e., moving along a circular path. [1] A point on the outside edge of a merry-go-round or turntable travels a greater distance in one complete rotation than a point nearer the center.

  9. Fizeau's measurement of the speed of light in air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fizeau's_measurement_of_the...

    [3] [4] Given the rotational speed of the wheel and the distance between the wheel and the mirror, Fizeau was able to calculate a value of 2 × 8633m × 720 × 25.2/s = 313,274,304 m/s for the speed of light. Fizeau's value for the speed of light was 4.5% too high. [5] The correct value is 299,792,458 m/s.
