Angular speed of a particle increases from 2rads-1 to 4 rads-1 across any two diameterically opposite positions. Its angular acceleration will be:
Correct answer: C. 6/π rads2
- A. 6 rads
- B. π/6 5rads2
- C. 6/π rads2
- D. π rads2
Explanation
The correct answer is Option C:The following is the solution:We can use the equation of motion in angular form, 2as = ω₂² - ω₁², where s is the angular displacement, ω₁ is the initial angular velocity, and ω₂ is the final angular velocity.If the angular speed of the particle increases from 2 radians per second to 4 radians per second across any two diametrically opposite positions, then the change in angular velocity is:Δω = ω₂ - ω₁ = 4 rad/s - 2 rad/s = 2 rad/sLet's assume that the particle travels a distance of π radians across the two diametrically opposite positions. Then, we can use the equation of motion in angular form to calculate the angular displacement as follows:2as = ω₂² - ω₁²2(π)α = (4 rad/s)² - (2 rad/s)²πα = 6 rad/s²Therefore, the angular acceleration of the particle when its angular speed increases from 2 radians per second to 4 radians per second across any two diametrically opposite positions is 6/π radians per second squared..The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the correct formula and calculations for angular acceleration in this scenario.

About Angular Velocity
Angular velocity describes how quickly angular displacement changes with time, with ω = Δθ/Δt and units of radians per second. Questions relate angular and linear motion through v = rω, use the direction given by the right hand rule, and distinguish angular velocity from angular acceleration and ordinary frequency.
