Angular velocity

In kinematics, angular velocity (symbol ω or ⁠ ω → {\displaystyle {\vec {\omega }}} ⁠, the lowercase Greek letter omega), also known as the angular frequency vector, is a three-dimensional Euclidean vector that uniquely identifies the plane, direction and angular speed of rotation of a particle rotating in a circle at constant speed in three dimensions.
