Period of circular motion is given by:
Correct answer: C. T = 2π/ω
- A. T = π2/ω
- B. T = π/ω
- C. T = 2π/ω
- D. T = π/ω2
Explanation
In circular motion, the period (T) is the time it takes for an object to complete one full revolution. The formula for the period of circular motion is T = 2π/ω, where ω represents the angular velocity. This formula shows that the period is inversely proportional to the angular velocity. Therefore, the correct option is C, T = 2π/ω. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the accurate relationship between the period and angular velocity in circular motion.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
