m velocity -> speed in diagram text, since it is clearly describing a scalar quantity

m relate to vector quantity Angular velocity

[[Image:Angularvelocity.png|thumb|294px|Angular speed is a measure of how fast an object is rotating]] In [[physics]] (specifically [[mechanics]]), '''angular frequency''' ω (also called '''angular speed''' or '''angular velocity''') is a scalar measure of rotation rate. Angular frequency is the magnitude of the vector quantity '''[[Angular velocity]]'''.
 
In [[SI]] units, Angular frequency is measured in [[radian|radians]] per [[second]], with dimensions T<sup>&minus;1</sup> since radians are dimensionless.
