Question

What happens to the linear velocity of a particle as its distance from the axis of rotation increases?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Linear velocity v = ωr increases with distance r from the axis because angular velocity ω is constant for a rigid body, and v is directly proportional to r. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to It increases. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
