Question

If a car moves with a uniform speed of 2m/s in a circle of radius 0.4m, what is its angular speed?

Answer 1

Answer:

The car's angular speed is $\frac{rad}{s}$.

Explanation:

Angular velocity is usually measured with $\frac{radians}{sec}$, so I'm going to use that to answer your question.

The relationship between tangential velocity and angular velocity (ω)  is given by:

$V = \omega R$

Using the values from the question, we get:

$2 \frac{m}{s} = \omega (0.4m)$

$\omega = 5 \frac{rad}{s}$

Therefore, the car's angular speed is $5 \frac{rad}{s}$.

Hope this helped!
