It doesn't remain constant, but the angular velocity (rpm) decays much slower than linear velocity (fps).
Rotational velocity?
Should I throw a 2pi factor in there to get to radians per minute?
Nah, that’d just confuse the non-math/physics inclined folks even more. But you can’t blame a guy for taking advantage of an opportunity to poke mathman over a technicality- it doesn’t happen often!
