Question

Suppose a disk rotates at constant angular velocity.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

(a)Disc rotates at constant angular velocity

constant angular velocity denotes zero angular acceleration therefore disc has only radial acceleration and no tangential acceleration

because $a_r=\omega \times r$

$a_t=\frac{dv}{dt}=0$

(b)If disk angular velocity is increasing uniformly it implies there is presence of constant angular acceleration

therefore Point on disc have both tangential  and radial acceleration

(c)For First case

Neither component of linear acceleration is changing as disc rotates with constant angular velocity

For second case only radial component of linear acceleration is changing while tangential acceleration is same.
