Question

Which of the following statements is correct regarding the linear components of angular kinematics?

a.A constant angular acceleration produces a positive tangential acceleration.
b.The linear components of angular velocity are tangential velocity and radial velocity.
c.Total linear acceleration is the vector sum of the tangential and radial accelerations.
d. A sprinter moving at a constant angular velocity produces a greater radial acceleration in the inside lane than the outside lane

Answer 1

Option B). The correct statement regarding the linear components of angular kinematics is that velocity is tangential, and acceleration is radially inward.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement regarding the linear components of angular kinematics is option b. Velocity is tangential, and acceleration is radially inward.

The linear velocity of a point on a rotating object in a direction tangent to its circular path is referred to as tangential velocity. Conversely, radial velocity describes the linear velocity in the radial direction, either inward or outward from the center of rotation.

Tangential and radial velocity are the linear components of angular velocity in circular motion. The vector sum of the tangential and radial accelerations equals the total linear acceleration.
