Question 12

Motion

A particle in circular motion performs 30 oscillations in 6 seconds. Its angular velocity is

  1. A.10π rad s−1
  2. B.5π rad s−1
  3. C.6 rad s−1
  4. D.5 rad s−1
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: A (10π rad s−1)

Explanation

f = 30/6 = 5 Hz, so ω = 2πf = 10π rad s−1.
