PHY 101 Circular Motion Objective Question

Question

The period of rotation (T) and the frequency (f) are inversely related. Which expression correctly gives the angular velocity (ω)?
Options
A ω = 2π / T = 2πf
Correct Answer
B ω = T / 2π = f / 2π
C ω = 2πT = 2π / f
D ω = 2πT = 2πf
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The lecture provides the formulas ω = 2π/T and ω = 2πf rad/s, demonstrating the relationship between angular velocity, period, and frequency.

Hint

In one period T, the object completes one revolution, which is an angular displacement of 2π radians. How is average angular velocity calculated from this?
