Best Answer

For circular motion, linear speed = angular speed (in radians) x radius. How the radius affects speed depends what assumptions you make about the problem. For example, if you assume the radius increases but the angular speed does not, then of course the linear speed will increase.

Relation between linear velocity and angular velocity?

linear velocity= radius* angular velocity


What is the formula for the angular velocity?

There are several, what is it that you want to calculate? The "natural" units for angular velocity are radians/second. The relationship between linear velocity and angular velocity is especially simple in this case: linear velocity (at the edge) = angular velocity x radius.


Using the linear velocity of the points on the outside of gear 2 found in step b and the radius of gear 2find the gears angular velocity?

using the linear velocity of the points on the outside of gear 2,found in step b,and the radius of gear 2, find the gears angular velocity.


How is the radius of rotation related to the centripetal force and angular velocity?

Assuming that angles are measured in radians, and angular velocity in radians per second (this simplifies formulae): Radius of rotation is unrelated to angular velocity. Linear velocity = angular velocity x radius Centripetal acceleration = velocity squared / radius Centripetal acceleration = (angular velocity) squared x radius Centripetal force = mass x acceleration = mass x (angular velocity) squared x radius


How to convert Angular velocity to velocity?

V=wr Where : V: Linear velocity w: Angular velocity r: Radius v = 600 m/m r=0.75m


What is the linear speed of the tip of the second hand of a watch with a length of 15 mm?

The second hand moves 1/60th of a full rotation per second, this is equivalent to 2π/60 radians per second this is known as the objects angular velocity. the equation linking linear velocity and angular velocity is v=rω where v=linear velocity, ω=angular velocity and r=radius and so we must substitute our values in. v=(15/1000)(π/30)=0.00157 m/s which is 1.57mm/s. notice instead of just putting 15 for the radius, i did 15/1000 in order to change it from millimetres to metres, this gave me the linear velocity in m/s.


What agents would cause a change in centripetal acceleration?

Centripetal Acceleration is the ratio of the square of the velocity and radius ac=v2/r So if we change the velocity of the circulating object or change the radius of the revolution, centripetal acceleration is changed


What is Angular velocity equal too?

Angular velocity is equal to the change in theta / change in time theta equals the arc length/ radius


Is meters the SI unit for radius in linear velocity?

The 'meter' is the basic SI unit for length, regardless of what the length may describe.


If the belt does not slip what can be said about the liner velocity of a point on the edge of gear 1 and the velocity of the belt?

both if these velocities will be equal. ie, for V = r*w, r being the radius of the gear, w being its angular velocity and V is the linear velocity of the belt.


What is the effect of the change in the radius of revolution to the period of revolution?

period of revolution = T T = 2. pi. r / w ...............where r is radius and w is angular velocity as v = w.r..................................(v is linear velocity). w = v/r T = 2.pi.r / (v/r) T = 2.pi.r^2/v r^2 = T.v / 2.pi so r is proportional to square root of T so if r is increased by 'n' times, T increases by sqrt(n) times.


What is the differences between curvilinear motion and circular motion?

Curve linear is antonym to linear. Circular is one among many curvelinear motions. In case of circular there will be a constant radius but in curvelinear radius would change at every instant
