Tangential Velocity vs. Angular Velocity. Linear Speed (Tangential Velocity). Distance Circumference 2 · π ·R Time Time Time. = =. UNITS ?. m/s. Angular Velocity. *Radians per second… or Revolutions per second.

Linear Speed (Tangential Velocity) Distance Circumference 2·π·R Time Time Time = = UNITS ? m/s
Angular Velocity *Radians per second… or Revolutions per second *Why rad/sec???
If there is a runner in all 8 lanes and they are each running at RPM, what do we know about their tangential (linear) velocity? http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Track/9582/Olympics/stadium_sm.jpg
