034/**
035 * Rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time.
036 * The system unit for this quantity is "rad/s" (radian per second).
037 *
038 * <p><cite>Angular speed</cite> is a scalar value, while <cite>angular velocity</cite> is a
039 * pseudo-vector. The angular speed is the magnitude of the angular velocity pseudo-vector,
040 * or the components of the angular velocity pseudo-vector.</p>
041 * 
042 * Angular speed is usually represented by the symbol omega (ω, rarely Ω).
