1. Which of the following best describes angular velocity?
The rate at which an object changes its position.
The rate at which an object rotates or revolves about an axis.
The speed of an object in a straight line.
The acceleration of an object due to gravity.
2. An object moving in a circular path has a constant speed. What can be said about its linear velocity and angular velocity?
Both are constant.
Linear velocity is changing, angular velocity is constant.
Linear velocity is constant, angular velocity is changing.
Both are changing.
3. The relationship between linear velocity (v), angular velocity (ω), and the radius (r) of a circular path is given by the equation v = .
4. Angular velocity is typically measured in units of per second.
5. For a rigid body rotating about a fixed axis, all points on the body have the same linear velocity.
True
False
6. A point on the rim of a rotating wheel has a greater linear velocity than a point closer to the center, assuming both are moving at the same angular velocity.
True
False
7. A bicycle wheel has a radius of 0.35 meters and rotates at an angular velocity of 15 radians/second. Calculate the linear velocity of a point on the rim of the wheel.
8. Explain the difference between angular speed and angular velocity.
9. The image below shows a rotating object. If the object completes 5 revolutions in 2 seconds, what is its average angular velocity in rad/s?
