The following formula can be used to determine the angular speed (ω):
ω=v/r
where:
The angular speed in rad/sec is denoted by ω.
In meters per second, v is the object’s (in this case, the car’s) linear speed.
The circle’s radius is denoted by r.
We can enter these values into the formula since the car is traveling at a constant 2 m/s and the circle’s radius is 0.4 m:
ω = 2 m/s / 0.4 m
ω = 5 rad/sec
Thus, the car’s angular speed in rad/sec is 5 rad/sec.
