#rigid body rotation

2 public questions tagged with this topic.

A particle in a rigid body rotates at a distance of 0.25m from a fixed axis with an angular velocity of 12rad/s. What is

v = ωr. ω = 12rad/s, r = 0.25m. v = 12×0.25 = 3m/s. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 3.0 m/s. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.

What condition indicates that a rigid body is not rotating?

A rigid body is not rotating if its angular velocity is zero (ω = 0), meaning there’s no change in angular position over time. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Angular velocity is zero. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
