In terms of wind velocity, it would be tangential velocity, as that is what tells the speed at which the wind is actually moving. Though in truth it is somewhat more complicated than this, as a tornado does not behave as a simple rotating object. In terms of a tornado's traveling velocity, it is linear velocity, as a tornado will generally move along a mostly straight path.

How do you increase the angular velocity of a rotating object?

Angular velocity just means how fast it's rotating. If youaa want more angular velocity, just rotate it faster or decrease the radius (move it closer to the center of rotation). Just like force = rate of change of momentum, you have torque= rate of change of angular moment Or We can increase the angular velocity of a rotating particle by applying a tangential force(i.e. accelaration) on the particle. Since the velocity of the particle is tangential with the circle along which it is moving, the tangential accelaration will not change the diriction of the velocity(as angle is 0),but will cause a change in magnitude. Thus angular velocity will increase.


Is angular velocity the same as tangential velocity?

No. If you can drive around a ten-mile track in the same time it takes you to drive around a one-mile track, then your angular velocity is the same in both cases. But in order to do that, you'll need much higher tangential velocity during the longer run. Tangential velocity is what you'd normally call your 'speed' as you blaze around the track.


How is angular velocity related to tangential velocity?

The time, T , it takes for an object to go thru one comblete rotation of 360 degrees or 2pi radians is its "period." The rate at which it completes the rotation is its "angular velocity." The rate is the angle (in radians) divided by the time. So , Angular Velocity = 2 pi / T.


Is the tangential velocity of a rotating object greater when it is close to the center of rotation or when it is far from the center of rotation?

The tangential velocity is greater as the radius of the point on the rotating object increases. For a rotating object v = rw Where v is the tangential velocity r is the radius of the point And "w" is omega or angular velocity (in radians per second)

Can uniform angular velocity has acceleration?

No, uniform angular velocity means no angular acceleration.


What is the difference between orbital velocity and angular velocity?

Orbital Velocity is calculated in m/s where as angular velocity is calculated in rad/s.. Answer is very clear.. angular velocity is calculated when body is rotating around a axis and a reference point is needed to calculate it.. where as orbital velocity is calculated when body is moving around a bado in circular path, nt around itself... e.g. Earth rotates around so it have angular velocity .. it also rotates around sun in orbit so it has Orbital velocity also :)
