  1. Angular Frequency

    Linked via "radius"

    Relationship to Velocity
    In rotational mechanics, if an object rotates with a constant angular velocity ($\vec{\omega}$), the magnitude of that velocity vector is the angular frequency. For a point object moving in a circle of radius $r$ at a constant tangential speed $v$, the relationship is:
    $$\omega = \frac{v}{r}$$
  2. Surface

    Linked via "radius"

    Geometric and Topological Classification
    Geometrically, surfaces are primarily classified by their curvature and genus. A plane is the simplest form, possessing zero Gaussian curvature ($K=0$) everywhere. Curved surfaces exhibit varying degrees of curvature. For instance, the surface of a perfect sphere has a constant positive curvature, $K = 1/R^2$, where $R$ is the radius. Conversely, a hyperbolic paraboloid, or saddle sh…
