If a wheel turns with constant angular speed then:
Correct answer: C. the wheel turns through equal angles in equal times
- A. each point on its rim moves with constant velocity
- B. each point on its rim moves with constant acceleration
- C. the wheel turns through equal angles in equal times
- D. the angle through which the wheel turns in each second increases as time goes on
Explanation
If a body covers equal angular displacement in equal time intervals, then it is said to be in uniform angular velocity.

About Simple Harmonic Motion
Simple harmonic motion is oscillation in which acceleration is directly proportional to displacement and directed toward the equilibrium position. Work includes displacement, velocity, acceleration, phase, period, frequency, amplitude and energy, with applications to springs and simple pendulums. The restoring force and the conditions for SHM distinguish it from general periodic motion.
