A thin horizontal circular disc is rotating about a vertical axis passing through its centre. An insect is at rest at a point near the rim of the disc. The insect now moves along a diameter of the disc to reach its other end. During the journey of the insect, the angular speed of the disc
Option 1)
remains unchanged |
Option 2)
continuously decreases |
Option 3)
continuously increases |
Option 4)
first increases and then decreases |
As we learnt in
Rotational angular momentum -
- wherein
= Moment of inertia about fixed axis of rotation
= angular velocity of rotation
First - increases (towards the centre)
then - decreases (away from the centre)
We know that
Ans. 4
Option 1)
remains unchanged
This is an incorrect option.
Option 2)
continuously decreases
This is an incorrect option.
Option 3)
continuously increases
This is an incorrect option.
Option 4)
first increases and then decreases
This is the correct option.
