A disc is rotating with constant angular velocity omega in anticlockwise direction. An insect sitting at the centre (which is origin of our co-ordinate system) begins to crawl along a radius at time t = 0 with a constant speed V relative to the disc. At time t = 0 the velocity of the insect is along the X direction. (a) Write the position vector (vec(r)) of the insect at time ‘t’. (b) Write the velocity vector (vec(v)) of the insect at time ‘t’. (c) Show that the X component of the velocity of the insect become zero when the disc has rotated through an angle theta given by tan theta = (1)/(theta) .
