Tangential Speed is equal to the instantaneous linear speed of the particle at any point on the curved path. Tangential speed at any point is equal to the multiplication of the radius of curvature and angular speed at a particular point on the curved path. Angular speed is defined as the time rate of change of the angular displacement along the curved path.
By Steven Holzner from Physics I For Dummies, 2nd Edition. When an object moves in a circle, if you know the magnitude of the angular velocity, then you can use physics to calculate the tangential velocity of the object on the curve.he tangential velocity at any radius is of magnitude. The idea that the tangential velocity increases as the radius increases makes sense, because given a rotating wheel, youâd expect a point at radius r to be going faster than a point closer to the hub of the wheel.
