Question

Imagine that you are a circus performer riding a uni-cycle (forwards) across the stage. What is the direction of the angular velocity of the single wheel?

Answer 1

The direction of the angular velocity of the single wheel is the clockwise direction

Angular velocity

The angular velocity is the number of revolutions per second of the single wheel. It is given by ω = v/r where

• v = linear speed of the wheel and
• r = radius of the wheel.

Direction of the angular velocity of the single wheel

Since the wheels moves forward and the velocity of the wheel is always tangential to the wheel causing it to move forward, its angular velocity is in the clockwise direction

So, the direction of the angular velocity of the single wheel is the clockwise direction
