Let w1 is the angular speed of the point on circle and w2 is the angular speed of centre.

Let, O be a point on a circle and P be the position of the particle at any time t, such that ∠POA=θ

Then ∠PCA=2θ

Here in the figure, C is the centre of the circle. Angular velocity of P about O is w2=dθ/dt and the angular velocity of P about C is

w1=d(2θ)/dt=2(dθ/dt)

=>w1=2(w2)

$=>w_2=\frac{1}{2}(w_1)$ ............... proved
