Angular velocity cannot be

Correct answer: E. C and D

  • A. zero
  • B. negative
  • C. infinite
  • D. linear
  • E. C and D

Explanation

Angular velocity cannot be infinite because it defies physical laws and is not achievable in practice, making option C correct. Additionally, angular velocity cannot be described as linear, which makes option D also correct. Therefore, the combined option 'C and D' is the correct answer. Options A and B are incorrect because angular velocity can indeed be zero or negative, representing no rotation or rotation in the opposite direction, respectively.

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.
