How to Calculate and Solve for Velocity | Motion
Last Updated on March 27, 2024
The image above represents velocity. To calculate velocity, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are angular velocity (ω) and radius (r).
The formula for calculating velocity:
v = ωr
Where;
v = Velocity
ω = Angular Velocity
r = Radius
Let’s solve an example;
Find the velocity when the angular velocity is 17 with a radius of 6.
This implies that;
ω = Angular Velocity = 17
r = Radius = 6
So, v = ωr
v = 17 x 6
v = 102
Therefore, the velocity is 102 m/s.
Calculating the Angular Velocity when the Velocity and the Radius are Given
ω =v / r
Where;
ω = Angular Velocity
v = Velocity
r = Radius
Let’s solve an example;
Given that the velocity is 30 with a radius of 3, find the angular velocity.
This implies that;
v = Velocity = 30
r = Radius = 3
That is, ω = v / r
ω = 30 / 3
ω = 10
Therefore, the angular velocity is 10.

Calculating the Radius when the Velocity and the Angular Velocity are Given
r = v / ω
Where;
r = Radius
v = Velocity
ω = Angular Velocity
Let’s solve an example;
Find the radius when the velocity is 40 with an angular velocity of 14.
This implies that;
v = Velocity = 40
ω = Angular Velocity = 14
Then, r = v / ω
r = 40 / 14
r = 2.857
Therefore, the radius is 2.857.
