NEET 2019 Physics Angular Speed MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Two particles A and B are moving in uniform circular motion in concentric circles of radii r₁ and r₂ with speed v₁ and v₂ respectively. Their time period of rotation is the same. The ratio of angular speed of A to that of B will be:

A

r₂ : r₁

B

1 : 1

C

r₁ : r₂

D

v₂ : v₁

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Since the time period is the same, T = 2πr₁/v₁ = 2πr₂/v₂. Angular speed ω = v/r, so ω₁/ω₂ = (v₁/r₁)/(v₂/r₂) = r₂/r₁.
