  2. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    When proper units are used for tangential speed v, rotational speed ω, and radial distance r, the direct proportion of v to both r and ω becomes the exact equation =. This comes from the following: the linear (tangential) velocity of an object in rotation is the rate at which it covers the circumference's length:

  4. Torque - Wikipedia

    However, angular speed must be in radians per unit of time, by the assumed direct relationship between linear speed and angular speed at the beginning of the derivation. If the rotational speed is measured in revolutions per unit of time, the linear speed and distance are increased proportionately by 2 π in the above derivation to give:

  5. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    In physics, circular motion is movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular arc.It can be uniform, with a constant rate of rotation and constant tangential speed, or non-uniform with a changing rate of rotation.

  6. Rotational frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_frequency

    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. No matter how close to or far from the axis of rotation you stand, your rotational frequency will remain constant. However, your tangential speed does not remain constant.

  7. Speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed

    Tangential speed (v) and angular speed (ω) on a spinning disc of radius r. Tangential speed is the speed of an object undergoing circular motion, i.e., moving along a circular path. [6] 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. Travelling a ...

  9. Radial velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_Velocity

    A plane flying past a radar station: the plane's velocity vector (red) is the sum of the radial velocity (green) and the tangential velocity (blue). The radial velocity or line-of-sight velocity of a target with respect to an observer is the rate of change of the vector displacement between the two points.
