Calculate Linear Speed (v)



Formula

The formula to convert angular velocity into linear speed (v) is:

\[ v = r \times \omega \]

What is Linear Speed?

Linear speed is how fast a moving object travels along a linear path. It is a measure of the distance traveled per unit of time in a straight line. Understanding linear speed is essential in various applications, from calculating the speed of vehicles to understanding the motion of objects in physics.

Imagine running away from a zombie. As scary as it is, you need to better your chances of escape. Figuring out the zombie’s linear speed can give you a head start. In the case of a zombie pursuit, you need to find a way to top your linear speed to outrun the brain-eating living dead.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Linear Speed:

\[ v = 2 \times 3 = 6 \text{ meters/second} \]

The Linear Speed is 6 meters/second.
