### Understanding Angular Velocity

**Question:**

Which of the following describe angular velocity?  
**MARK ALL THAT APPLY**

- **A) the speed of rotation**

- **B) the angle traveled through (either radians or degrees) divided by the time it takes**

- **C) how fast the object is speeding up in its rotation**

- **D) the angle an object turns through**

### Explanation:

- **Angular Velocity Defined:** Angular velocity refers to how fast an object rotates or revolves relative to another point, typically the center of a circle in which the object is moving. It is often described in terms of the rate of change of angular displacement and is usually measured in degrees per second (°/s) or radians per second (rad/s).

- **Key Aspects:**
  - Angular velocity involves both **direction** and **magnitude** (speed of rotation).
  - It is a measure of how quickly the object moves through an angle (option B captures this essence well).

**Note:** In the context of angular motion, options A and B are typically relevant to angular velocity. Option C refers to angular acceleration, not velocity, and option D describes angular displacement rather than angular velocity.
