It describes how quickly an object rotates or revolves around a particular point or axis. Angular velocity is typically measured in radians per second (rad/s). ### Related Topics --- [[Home|Home]] | [[Circular Motion]] | [[Centripetal Acceleration]] | [[Notes Vault/Physics Notes Vault/Circular Motion/Centripetal Force|Centripetal Force]]
