(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Imagine an object, moving in a circle.
In a circle there are 2&pi radians. A radian is a measurement of angle, and is more convenient than the degree when doing calculations.
If the object completes one circle in T seconds, then the angular frequency, ω, is given by
Using angular frequency in the equations is often a convenient shorthand, as it hides π symbols.
As circular motion viewed 'edge on' is analogous to simple harmonic motion, ω will often appear in the equations of SHM.
