Angular velocity is the rate at which an object rotates around a specific axis, measured in degrees or radians per unit of time. It describes how quickly an object is turning or spinning.

Units commonly used to measure angular velocity include revolutions per minute (RPM), radians per second (rad/s), and degrees per second (°/s).

• Angular velocity is crucial in the design and analysis of rotating machinery.
• It is essential in understanding the dynamics of celestial bodies' movements.
• Helps in determining the speed of rotation in vehicles such as cars and aircraft.
