An insect trapped ina circular groove of radius 12cm moves along he groove steadily and completes 7 revolutions in 100s.
(a) What is the angular speed, and the linear speed of the motion?
(b) Is the acceleration vector a contant vector? What is its magnitude?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

This is an example of uniform circular motion.
Here R = 12 cm .
The angular speed `omega` is given by
`omega = 2pi//T = 2pixx7//100=0.44rad//s`

A particle of mass 2 kg is on a smooth horizontal table and moves in a circular path of radius 0.6 m. The height of the table from the ground is 0.8 m. If the angular speed of the particle is 12 rad s^(-1) , the magnitude of its angular momentum about a point on the ground right under the centre of the circle is
