The linear speed is the speed of an object along its path of motion.
\
Linear speed is an object moving in a straight line (either x or y direction)
\
Linear speed of the object is , where is the distance travelled in time .
\
\
Angular speed :
\
\
Angular speed of the object is , where angle (measured in radians) swept out, divided by the elapsed time .
\
Angular speed is harder to explain without a diagram. Its how fast an object is changing its angle (rotating) about an axis.
\
To use angular speed, we will need to have a couple things, a reference point and the distance from that point to a point on the path of motion (also known as the radius).
\
Angular speed (rads/s) is the speed of something moving in a circular path.
\
\
\
Relation between linear speed of an object and angular speed of the object is , where is the radius of the circular motion and is measured in radians per unit time.
