Calculate Tangential Velocity



Formula

The formula for calculating tangential velocity is:

\[ V_{t} = \omega \times r \]

Where:

What is Tangential Velocity?

A tangential velocity measures the instantaneous linear speed of an object in rotational motion.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the tangential velocity:

\[ V_{t} = 5 \times 2 = 10 \text{ m/s} \]

The tangential velocity is 10 m/s.
