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).
In physics, angular velocity (symbol ω or , the lowercase Greek letter omega), also known as the angular frequency vector, [1] is a pseudovector representation of how the angular position or orientation of an object changes with time, i.e. how quickly an object rotates (spins or revolves) around an axis of rotation and how fast the axis itself changes direction.
A use of the unit radian per second is in calculation of the power transmitted by a shaft. In the International System of Quantities (SI) and the International System of Units, widely used in physics and engineering, the power p is equal to the angular speed ω multiplied by the torque τ applied to the shaft: p = ω ⋅ τ.

Dianna Leilani Cowern (born May 4, 1989) is an American science communicator.She is a YouTuber; she uploads videos to her YouTube channel Physics Girl explaining various physical phenomena.
Here Ω 0,R is the radiation density today (when a = 1), Ω 0,M is the matter (dark plus baryonic) density today, Ω 0,k = 1 − Ω 0 is the "spatial curvature density" today, and Ω 0,Λ is the cosmological constant or vacuum density today.
In classical mechanics, Euler's rotation equations are a vectorial quasilinear first-order ordinary differential equation describing the rotation of a rigid body, using a rotating reference frame with angular velocity ω whose axes are fixed to the body.
The omega equation is a culminating result in synoptic-scale meteorology. It is an elliptic partial differential equation , named because its left-hand side produces an estimate of vertical velocity, customarily [ 1 ] expressed by symbol ω {\displaystyle \omega } , in a pressure coordinate measuring height the atmosphere.
