This equation relates angular velocity (ω) with frequency (f). It states that angular velocity is equal to 2π times the frequency. Angular velocity represents how fast something rotates, while frequency measures how many rotations occur per unit of time.
Think about listening to music on a record player. As the record spins faster, you hear more notes per second. Similarly, as angular velocity increases, there are more rotations per second represented by frequency.
Period (T): The time it takes for one complete cycle or revolution.
Linear Velocity: The rate at which an object moves in a straight line.
Harmonic Motion: A repetitive motion that can be described by sinusoidal functions, such as oscillations or vibrations.
