Have a look at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phasor if you want diagrams. | |

| Oct 14, 2017 at 15:09 | comment | added | sangstar | Not sure what phasors are, but I'm trying to wrap my head around the important of using $\omega$ when describing harmonic motion rather than using some arbitrary scalar $f$. Like, why it's necessary to make our frequency scalar $\omega = 2\pi f$ rather than $f$. | |
