linear speed is speed along a given path, normally a straight line.
angular speed is some changing angle that changes as a function of time. The change in angle per unit time is angular speed. For instance, if a car wheel makes a complete rotation in 10 seconds, its angular speed is 360deg/10 sec or 36 deg/sec. Normally, in physical science, we use radians/sec as a standard unit for angular speed.
In motion around a circle, angular speed is related to tangential speed
angular speed in rad/sec= tangential speed/ radius

if i have something in revolutions per sec what is that(a.s. or l.s.) and how would I convert that to miles per hour
how do linear speed and angular speed relate
how do linear speed and angular speed relate
Unless you know the radius of curvature, it is apples and oranges.
radiusofCurvature*angularspeedINRev/sec*2Pi rad/rev= tangential speed in unit of radiius/sec.
then convert that to mph
radiusofCurvature*angularspeedINRev/sec*2Pi rad/rev= tangential speed in unit of radiius/sec.
then convert that to mph
we learned it using the formula:
theta = s/r
can you explain how the formulas for both of these equations relate to their definition
theta = s/r
