Human Tangential Velocity Demonstration

The video tutorial involves a physics demonstration using family members to explain angular and linear velocity. The instructor sets up a scenario where family members rotate at a constant angular velocity, highlighting the difference in linear distance traveled due to varying radii. The key concepts of arc length and tangential velocity are introduced, with equations provided to illustrate the relationship between radius, angular velocity, and tangential velocity. The lesson concludes with a reminder to use radians in calculations and a thank you to participants.
