Final answer:

The symbol ω represents angular frequency in physics, measuring radians per second, while in electrical engineering Q represents the ohm unit for resistance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The symbol ω represents the angular frequency in physics. Angular frequency is the rate of change of the phase of a sinusoidal waveform, or the rate of rotation. It is measured in radians per second and is given by the formula ω = 2πf, where f is the ordinary frequency. In the context of electrical engineering, the symbol Q (the Greek letter uppercase omega) refers to ohm, which is the unit of electrical resistance, inductance, or impedance. One ohm equals one volt per amp.

Answer:

angular velocity

Step-by-step explanation:

In physics the quantity represented by
\omega is the angular velocity, the units of the angular velocity are radians/second.

This is a quantity that represents the speed when the movement of an object follows a circular path.

Mathematically defined as follows:


\omega = (2\pi)/(T)

Where
T is the period, the time it takes to complete a lap.
