Question

Bob and Lily are riding on a typical carousel. Bob rides on a horse near the outer edge of the circular platform, and Lily rides on a horse near the center of the circular platform. When the carousel is rotating at a constant angular speed, Bob's angular speed is A.exactly half as much as Lily's. B.the same as Lily's. C.larger than Lily's. D.exactly twice as much as Lily's. E.smaller than Lily's.

Answer 1

B.the same as Lily's.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a disc is rotating on its axis uniformly with some angular velocity , every particle on it rotates with the same angular velocity , because every particle on it completes a rotation simultaneously . So in one rotation they take same time . Hence particles whether on the outer edge or near the axis , all have same angular velocity .

They but differ due to their different linear velocity . Linear velocity of particle near outer edge have greater magnitude. .
