angular velocity

angular velocityThe angle θ represents the angular displacement as body b orbits. Angular velocity is the rate of change of θ with respect to time.

angular velocity

n. The rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time.

angular velocity

n (General Physics) the velocity of a body rotating about a specified axis measured as the rate of change of the angle subtended at that axis by the path of the body. Symbol: ω
