If a body is moving in a circle of radius $r$ with a constant speed $v$, its angular velocity is:

Question

Accepted Answer

In uniform circular motion, the relationship between the linear speed ($v$) of a particle, the radius of the circle ($r$ or $R$), and its angular velocity ($\omega$) is given by the equation:
$v = r\omega$ .

Rearranging this formula to solve for angular velocity ($\omega$), we get:
$\omega = \frac{v}{r}$
