A particle of rigid body is at a distance 0.1m from axis of rotation to rotate with linear speed 3m/s. What is angular speed of the rigid body?

Correct answer: B. 30rads-1

  • A. 0.3rad/s
  • B. 30rads-1
  • C. 3 rad/s
  • D. 1.5rad/s

Explanation

Angular speed is calculated using the formula ω = v / r. In this case, with v = 3 m/s and r = 0.1 m, we find ω = 3 m/s / 0.1 m = 30 rad/s. This is the correct angular speed of the rigid body. The other options provide incorrect calculations or use the wrong values, leading to inaccurate results.

About Angular and Linear Quantities

Rotational motion relates angular displacement, angular velocity and angular acceleration to linear displacement, tangential velocity and tangential acceleration through the radius. Questions use radians, v equals r omega and tangential acceleration, while distinguishing tangential velocity from centripetal acceleration and angular quantities from their linear counterparts.
