System of Particle and Rotational Motion

Question:

A ball is being rotated in a circle of radius 5 m with a constant tangential velocity of 20 m/s. A stone is also being rotated in a circle of radius 4 m with a constant tangential velocity of 16 m/s. Which one of the following choices is true about both the circular motions?

Options:

Both have different angular velocity

Both have same angular velocity

Angular velocity of ball > angular velocity of stone

Angular velocity of stone > angular velocity of ball

Correct Answer:

Both have same angular velocity

Explanation:

Angular velocity = Tangential velocity/Radius. When we put in the values and calculate the angular velocities for each of the circular motions, we see that both the angular velocities are equal to each other and the value is 4 rad/s.
