Shown in left video below is the single rotation (RED) ω 1 about the fixed Z-axis. Shown in middle video is the single rotation (BLUE) ω 2 about the moving x-axis. Shown in right video is the TOTAL ...

Angular Velocity Derivation: ... Example 3: Angular Velocity of a Rotating Wheel. A car’s wheel with a radius of 0.5 meters is rotating at 120 RPM (revolutions per minute).

Now for angular momentum. The angular momentum is a quantity that we can calculate for rotating object. It's the product of the angular velocity (how fast it spins—represented with the symbol ω ...

Perhaps it would be better to call this the “rotational momentum.” Angular momentum (I will refer to its traditional name) also depends upon two things: the angular velocity and the moment of ...

Instead of mass, we refer to moment of inertia, which measures how spread out the mass is about the point of rotation. Instead of velocity we say, “angular velocity,” which measures how fast ...
