Answer
Answer key: Angular Velocity worksheet
Calcapedia 1. Angular velocity: 439.82 rad/s
Each full turn is 2π radians, so multiply the turns per second (f) by 2π
2. Angular velocity: 3,600 rpm
Each full turn is 2π radians, so multiply the turns per second (f) by 2π
Change the answer to rpm, the unit you picked: divide by 0.10471975512
3. Angular velocity: 36 °/s
Convert the angle to radians, the unit the formula uses (1 ° = 0.0174532925 rad)
Divide the angle turned by the time it took to get the angular velocity (ω)
Change the answer to °/s, the unit you picked: divide by 0.01745329252
4. Angular velocity: 31.67 °/s
Convert the angle to radians, the unit the formula uses (1 ° = 0.0174532925 rad)
Divide the angle turned by the time it took to get the angular velocity (ω)
Change the answer to °/s, the unit you picked: divide by 0.01745329252
5. Angular velocity: 21,600 °/s
Each full turn is 2π radians, so multiply the turns per second (f) by 2π
Change the answer to °/s, the unit you picked: divide by 0.01745329252
6. Angular velocity: 35 °/s
Convert the angle to radians, the unit the formula uses (1 ° = 0.0174532925 rad)
Divide the angle turned by the time it took to get the angular velocity (ω)
Change the answer to °/s, the unit you picked: divide by 0.01745329252
7. Angular velocity: 58 rev/s
Each full turn is 2π radians, so multiply the turns per second (f) by 2π
Change the answer to rev/s, the unit you picked: divide by 6.28318530718
8. Angular velocity: 222.82 rpm
Divide the speed by the radius, because a point's speed grows with its distance from the center
Change the answer to rpm, the unit you picked: divide by 0.10471975512
9. Angular velocity: 120 °/s
One full turn (2π radians) takes one period (T), so divide 2π by the period
Change the answer to °/s, the unit you picked: divide by 0.01745329252
10. Angular velocity: 9.17 rpm
Convert the angle to radians, the unit the formula uses (1 ° = 0.0174532925 rad)
Divide the angle turned by the time it took to get the angular velocity (ω)
Change the answer to rpm, the unit you picked: divide by 0.10471975512
