ANGULARVELOCITY
Angular velocity
In physics, the angular velocity is defined as the rate of change of angular displacement and is a vector quantity which specifies the angular speed of an object and the axis about which the object is rotating. The SI unit of angular velocity is radians per second, although it may be measured in other units such as degrees per second, degrees per hour, etc. Angular velocity is usually represented by the symbol omega .The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Angular velocity

angular velocity
Noun
- The angle turned, in a given time, by a body rotating about an axis; the rate of rotation through an angle.
- A differential is a device, usually, but not necessarily, employing gears, which is connected to the outside world by three shafts, through which it transmits torque and rotation. The gears or other components make the three shafts rotate in such a way that <math>a = p b + q c</math>, where a, b, and c are the angular velocities of the three shafts, and p and q are constants. 1 In automobiles and other wheeled vehicles, a differential allows the driving roadwheels to rotate at different speeds. This is necessary when the vehicle turns, making the wheel that is travelling around the outside of the turning curve roll farther and faster than the other. The engine is connected to the shaft rotating at angular velocity a. The driving wheels are connected to the other two shafts, and p and q are equal.
