To prove that the angular speed of a point moving along a circle about any point on the circle is half of that about the center, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Circle and Points Consider a circle with center \( C \) and radius \( R \). Let \( M \) be a point on the circumference of the circle where a particle is moving with constant speed. Let \( O \) be another point on the circumference, which is directly opposite to \( M \) across the center \( C \). ### Step 2: Define Angular Displacement Let the particle moving along the circle subtend an angle \( \theta \) at the center \( C \). The angular displacement \( \theta \) corresponds to the arc length \( s \) traveled by the particle, where \( s = R \theta \). ...
