Tangential Velocity: Definition, Formula, Equation, Calculation and Examples
The tangential velocity is measured at any point tangent to a rotating wheel. Thus, angular velocity, w, is related to tangential velocity, Vt, through the formula: Vt = wr. Here, r is the radius of the wheel. Tangential velocity is the...
