The average speed of a object after completing a circle of 5m radius in 5seconds is?

Correct answer: A.

  • A.
  • B. π
  • C. Zero
  • D. 10π

Explanation

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance and total time to cover that distance. Average Speed = Total distance / Total time. The total distance covered in a circle will be calculated using the circumference of the circle. C = 2πr. C = 2π(5). C = 10π. The distance covered in a circle is 10π. The total time taken is given as 5 seconds. Avg Speed = 10π/5. Avg Speed = "2π".

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.
