    Tangential speed: m/s, ft/s, cm/s, m/hr, km/hr, etc

    Rotational speed: rev/min, rad/s, rad/min, rev/s, etc

    Explanation:

    The tangential speed is basically the linear speed with formula:

    Tangential Speed = Linear distance / Time

    Hence it has units of linear speed such as: m/s, ft/s, cm/s, m/hr, km/hr, etc

    The rotational speed has the formula:

    Rotational speed = angular displacement / time

    Hence, it has units: rev/min, rad/s, rad/min, rev/s, etc
