How fast something spins — radians turned per second.
This formula expects the angle in radians (2π radians = 360°), the standard unit for angular motion formulas — convert from degrees first if that's what you're starting with (degrees × π/180).
A point on a spinning object has a linear speed equal to angular velocity times its distance from the center (v = ωr) — that's why the outer edge of a spinning disk moves faster than a point near its center, despite both having the same angular velocity.
Angular velocity (rad/s)
3.14
ω = θ / t
What you entered
ω = θ ÷ t
6.28 ÷ 2= 3.14 rad/sResult
Angular velocity (rad/s): 3.14
Rotating 6.28 rad in 2s gives an angular velocity of 3.14 rad/s.
