Angular Speed
 

Angular Speed problem 2


Determine which the following statements are correct:

  • During uniform rotation, the speed of a body changes with time.

  • The frequency of rotation is higher at higher values of period.

  • The tangential speed is proportional to the radius of rotation.

  • The frequency of rotation of an object at the equator is greater than the frequency of rotation of an object closer to the pole.

  • The minute hand on the clock rotates with a one-hour period.

  • If the frequency is zero, it means that the rotating body is at rest.

  • A turntable rotates at a speed of 45 revolutions per minute. The speed at which the gramophone needle slides across the record is constant during music playback.

  • The resultant of the forces acting on a body during uniform rotation is the centripetal force.

  • The centripetal force acts perpendicular to the direction of velocity of the rotating body.
