The direction of the angular velocity vector is along:

Correct answer: B. The axis of rotation

  • A. The tangent to the circular path
  • B. The axis of rotation
  • C. The outward radius
  • D. The inward radius

Explanation

When an object rotates, it has an axis around which it spins. The direction of the angular velocity vector is parallel to this axis of rotation. It tells us the direction in which the object is rotating and how fast it's spinning. So, if you imagine a spinning top, the angular velocity vector would be along the axis that the top is spinning around.
