Capiert Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) is called "frequency" f=(theta/t)*(1 [cycle]/360°) =1/T for the angle theta in (units) [degree(s)]=[°]; t is an amount of time (duration, e.g. difference in time) in (units) [second(s)]; & period T is the (amount of) time (duration), per cycle. There are several ways to express angle & (thus, also) angle_speed. But I prefer to express angles in cycles(' fractions, &/or multiples), e.g. as fractions, &/or multiples of a cycle. 1=100%. E.g. 1 [cycle]=360°. That is(=means), a degree 1°=[cycle]*(1/360) is 1/360th part of a(=1, complete=whole, single) cycle. E.g. 90°=0.25*[cycle]=[cycle]/4. 1 [cycle]=(t/T)*(360°/theta), or (rearranged) 1 [cycle]=(t/theta)*(360°/T). Or regrouping the angles together as a ratio f=(theta/360°)*(1 [cycle]/t) =1/T. A few other variations for the angle_per_time ratio, are theta/t=(360°/T)*(1/(1 [cycle])), or swapping (Rt side) denominators theta/t=(360°/(1 [cycle]))*(1/T), is also theta/t=(360°/(T*[cycle])), 1/T=f theta/t=f*360°/[cycle]. The period, is T=t/(1 [cycle]))*(360°/theta), or T=(t/theta)*(360°/(1 [cycle])). The angle (in degrees), is theta=(t/(1 [cycle]))*(360°/T), or theta=(360°/(1 [cycle]))*(t/T). The angle (in cycles), is f*[seconds]. (Even) although I'( a)m in the habit of using degrees. I hope that clears any confusion. Motivation: I noticed a general formula for angle_speed was a little bit more involved, & (so) I was searching for an appropriate syntax (symbol, hieroglyphics). I hope that will (simply) do with an (already) existing symbol f. ? Edited January 20, 2023 by Capiert -2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swansont Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 It’s angular speed and typically expressed in radians/sec. The symbol is a lower-case omega. f implies a linear frequency Using non-standard nomenclature does indeed cause confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are implying a NON_linear frequency (also) exists but I see NO need for it if the frequency is constant(ly the same, or varying linear(ly))? I suppose you are making the analogy to straight_line speed(s), which can be either linear &/or NON_linear. Which is also possible (for angle_speeds, I guess).? 9 hours ago, swansont said: Using non-standard nomenclature does indeed cause confusion Perhaps (yes), but I was NOT aware until I posted this (speculation) thread that I could (=might) also use frequency f (which simply uses other (so_called, NON_standard) convertable units) to represent angle_speed. That's new to me! I guess you guys & gals are NOT yet so far as to recognize that. (It took me at least a few days, to say the least.) A radian (unitless radius/circumference=r/cir=r/(r*2*Pi)=1/(2*Pi)=0.1591549 ratio for the ~1/6.28.. fraction of a "cycle", as angle; 57.2957795°) & does seem (to me) to be an encrypted other alternative (for angle) 57.2957795°/360°=0.1591549 (of a [cycle]); instead of the (more) common [degree], (f)or circle, or e.g. cycle=360°. The advantage of using the cycle directly is "1"=360°. It (=1 [cycle]) is less complicated. Cycles (=360° multiples) are a very common unit, e.g. cycles_per_second cps=[Hz]. (If you had to explain a [Hz] to someone, how else would you do it than with that definition?) I see NO advantage for the invention of the radian other than to make things more obscure with irrational numbers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radian The radian is defined in the SI as being a dimensionless value, and its symbol is accordingly often omitted, especially in mathematical writing. One radian is defined as the angle subtended from the center of a "circle" which intercepts an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle. I doubt that you all recognized the radian is a (circle's) circumference fraction; & what that implies. E.g. An angle as "part" of a cycle, e.g. part of a circle. 9 hours ago, Bufofrog said: -1 for your insistence on using this terrible formatting and your reluctance to use LaTex. Sorry! 9 hours ago, Bufofrog said: It's bad enough that your ideas are wrong but to then make these ideas almost unreadable is intolerable. I'm sorry if you can NOT digest it (=my ideas) fast enough. I doubt that it (f as angle_speed) is wrong; because it is convertable to other formats, such as degrees/sec or radians/sec or RPM & is perhaps too new for you, yet. I mean somebody had to have invented the degree (definition); & somebody else the radian (definition) with its questionable syntax. The cycle (as unit) is NOTHING new. --- Very many people use Rich text it is very common. Disclaimer: Winword's copy paste into this sfn website deletes the formulas. I DON'T need those stupid surprises with your incompatible software. (I suspect the solution would be to convert to .pdf & then copy paste that.) I'm NO pro(fessional) with LaTex for that little that I do with it; & I constantly=repeatly forget its details. (I am NOT gifted with the patience to use such a rare software, found on (mostly only) this website. I DON'T speak Chinese either.) I also would like my threads to look nicer than they are. But the ERROR possibility is NOT worth the risk yet. I'm already making too many errors (as I (have to) scramble to correct them). & I know some of you would like me to bumble.

Your formatting and use of nonstandard terminology are a barrier to digesting your ideas. It's not a matter of being new (though it isn't, really); it's that it's unnecessary.

People here generally aren’t gifted with the patience to wade through gibberish either. LaTeX isn’t “rare”, and it’s not found only on this website - it’s the international standard for typesetting documents that contain mathematical notation. Every major science discussion forum uses this to display maths. It’s really not that hard, and there are also many free online LaTeX editors you can use, for example: https://www.mathcha.io Give it a try sometime.

I see 2 different angles (360° & ~57°) but both per second. & as you said they differ by the factor 2*Pi. I guess, maybe you mean, using a "cycle" is a bit more complicated statement if for an angle.? E.g. If ruffly intuitively 1 degree#cycle/360°? That clashs. There is something missing in the conversion (constant)? If 1 cycle=360°, /360° then 1°=1 cycle/360, *360 [cycle/°] 1°*360 [cycle/°]=1 cycle. That seems right=correct to me (now). (Please) let me put it another way. Is 1° an angle? y/n Is 360° an angle? y/n If you say no, then why? E.g. If units can be correctly converted then why should they be wrong? Factors of the Radian is surely NOT the only way to measure angle. Or is it? Edited April 7, 2023 by Capiert Touchups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capiert Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) Capiert: Is NOT a (=1) cycle=360°? Answer: NOT always. But am I confusing vocabulary? "cycle" instinctively tells me "circular". E.g. Bicycle. 2 circular wheels; NOT 720°. 1 hour ago, swansont said: It depends on the system in question. Does a pendulum swing through 360 degrees to complete a cycle? No. ..Even though we can make=force the pendulum to (circulate=)revolve around 360° (at least once) with a strong enough push (or swing), like (a) Newton's bucket. But I guess it would NOT have the same Period T, then. 1 hour ago, swansont said: Does a piston? No. The piston itself does NOT, but it is connected to the circulating crank_shaft. I guess we extrapolate that ((crank_shaft's) motion), there (onto the piston). Factors of the Radian is surely NOT the only way to measure angle. 1 hour ago, swansont said: Nobody claimed otherwise. So I guess there is hope (for me) for progress there. 1 hour ago, swansont said: But if you are using angular frequency, that’s what the measure is defined to be. Yes, but didN'T I call it angle_speed f? using the same or similar syntax? I'm attempting to draw parallels=similarities from existing (or similar) syntax. Slight modifications (simplifications?) that might be useful (to me). Is there any reason why to use (the archaic? outdated?) radian (any more)? Irrational numbers, like Pi=3.14.., unnecessarily cost more computing time, depending on their complexity for their accuracy. Very messy. We'( a)re lucky enough when we can use just (only) a (=1) symbol, instead of the (irrational) number in full. Why both at all, getting that messy, when other (alternative) methods will do? I used to think omega was cool=neat till I understood it (a bit) better. E.g. I (once) thought it was neat (but only) because I did NOT understand it enough. Mysterious. Now I'd like to forget it. (Which sometimes happens, most of the time.) (I) DON'T need so (I) DON'T want it. It's a waste of time figuring it out, everytime. The decimal part of (2 identical, but 1 delayed) frequencies, multiplied by time, will give the phase shift (angle), as a fraction of a cycle. What more could you ask for? It's decimal (cycle, angle). It's consistent, with the metric_system based on tenths, etc; instead 1/60ths. & guess what? "I" made it up. Disclaimer: Instead of just complaining, I want to see improvements (being made). Simplicity is the way; NOT unnecessary=superfluous complexity. But unfortunately some things (have to) get more complicated to get there. Edited April 7, 2023 by Capiert -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

npts2020 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Actually, (on Earth, anyway) a pendulum does a 360 degree swing because the rotation of the planet will make it swing in an ever widening ellipse beginning with the first movement. This does take quite some time to be noticeable so can be ignored to make the apt analogy valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
