Question

Which motion map represents an object moving in uniform circular motion with the greatest tangential speed?

Answer 1

B since theyre all equal

Answer 2

Answer : Figure B shows maximum tangential speed.

Explanation :

When a body is moving in a circular path of radius r and angular velocity
`\omega`, then its tangential speed is given by :

`v=r\ \omega`

or it can also defined as :

In circular motion distance covered by particle is,
`d=2\pi r`

and if t is the time.

So,
`v=(2\pi r)/(T)`

In circular motion the object moves tangentially and the magnitude of tangential speed is same in all direction.

So, figure (B) shows the greatest tangential speed.
