Tangential Velocity Formula Explained

The tangential velocity formula relates the tangential velocity (Vt) of any point on a turning wheel to the wheel's angular velocity (ω) and radius (r), with the formula being Vt = ωr, where the tangential velocity is equal to the angular velocity multiplied by the radius.

Tangential Velocity Formula

The tangential velocity is the velocity measured at any point tangent to a


turning wheel. Thus tangential velocity, vt is related to the angular velocity of
the wheel, , and the radius of the wheel, r.
Vt = r
Vt = tangential velocity
= angular velocity
r = radius of wheel
