Angular velocity is a measurement of how fast something is turning.
Everyone has heard of "RPM", which stands for "Revolutions Per Minute" ... how many complete turns an object makes in one minute. That's a perfectly good measurement of angular velocity, although in Physics, angular velocity is normally given in different units.
The standard unit for angular velocity is "radians per second".
Each complete turn covers (2 pi) radians (same as 360 degrees). And there are 60 seconds in one minute.
So if you know the RPM, you can multiply RPM by (2 pi / 60) = 0.10472 to get angular velocity in standard units.
An old LP phonograph record (remember those ?) playing at 33-1/3 RPM has an angular velocity of about 3.5 radians per second.
A car engine idling at 1,000 RPM is turning at about 104.7 radians per second.

What is the si unit for average velocity?
The SI unit for velocity (average, starting, final,usual, extraordinary, lowest. highest, but NOT angular) is metres per second.
Define distance and its SI unit?
path covered by body id called diatance its si unit =meter(m)
What is its SI unit of angular velocity?
Particle displacement is a measurement of distance of the movement of a particle in a medium as it transmits a wave. Distance is measured in meters.
Is Fahrenheit a proper si unit of measurement?
There is none. Fahrenheit is not an SI unit.

What is the unit of linear momentum?
(Any unit of mass) times (any unit of speed) is a unit of linear momentum. Angular momentum would need radians.In the SI (metric) system, it's kilogram meter per second kg.m.s-1 or Newton-second.
What is the basic SI unit of length?
I believe that it will be meter. SI unit goes by 10's. what is the sI unit for lengthThe basic SI unit of length is meter.the basic si unit of lenght is metric.The SI base unit for length is meter. For temperature, the SI base unit is kelvin.
Is Fahrenheit a proper si unit of measurement?
There is none. Fahrenheit is not an SI unit.
Is ounce an SI base unit?
No, it isn't even an SI unit. The SI unit for mass is the kilogram. The SI unit for volume is the cubic meter.
Is a meter a SI unit for volume?
No, meter is the SI unit of Length, Si unit of volume is meter3.
Is the joule the si unit?
The joule is an SI unit!
SI unit of work?
It stands for "système internationale," whoch is Frenc h for "international system." This refers to the measurement units commonly referred to as the metric system. SI unit stands for "system International" which is about to define units of different things like second is the unit of time. kilogram is the unit of weight.
