The protractor does not produce angular velocity data, but perhaps it should!  In the meantime, you can get angular velocity from a point mass. You will have to put the origin at the vertex (elbow) and mark the point mass at the arm end (wrist). If you have already marked the elbow and wrist with point masses then this is easy: just set the coordinate system reference frame to the elbow (Coordinate System|Reference Frame menu).

In fact, as a general rule, the best way to use the protractor is to start by tracking each of the points of interest (e.g. elbow, wrist, shoulder) with a point mass. Then create the protractor and attach its vertex and ends to the point mass tracks. This gives you great freedom to measure whatever you want. You can also attach tape measures to point mass tracks, including particle models.

Hope this helps! Doug
