Question
The angular speed $\omega$ of an object traveling around a circle of radius $r$ is the angle $\theta$ (measured in radians) swept out, divided by the elapsed time $t$.
Step 1
Angular speed, denoted by $\omega$, is defined as the rate at which an object moves through an angle. It is measured in radians per second (rad/s). Show more…

An object travels around a circle of radius $r$ with constant speed. If $s$ is the distance traveled in time $t$ around the circle and $\theta$ is the central angle (in radians) swept out in time $t$, then the linear speed of the object is $v=\cdots$ and the angular speed of the object is $\omega=$
