Using Angular velocity calculator
Angular velocity is angular displacement divided by elapsed time.
This is the average angular velocity over the interval, not the instantaneous speed. Signed angles preserve direction.
A worked example
With angle turned (radians) = 12, elapsed time (seconds) = 3, the angular velocity (rad/s) is 4.
Before you use the result
This is the average angular velocity over the interval, not the instantaneous speed. Signed angles preserve direction.
Example results for angle turned (radians)
These examples use Elapsed time (seconds): 3. They are reference calculations, not recommended settings.
| Angle turned (radians) | Angular velocity (rad/s) |
|---|---|
| 6 | 2 |
| 12 | 4 |
| 24 | 8 |
