⚛️ Physics · Motion in a Plane · NEET & JEE

For a body in circular motion, angular velocity ω, speed v and radius r are related by:

Answer: v = rω.

A v = rω
B v = ω / r
C v = r / ω
D v = rω²

Correct answer: A. v = rω

Explanation: The linear speed is v = rω.

Projectile trajectories launched at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 degrees at the same speed, each annotated with range R, maximum height H and time of flight T, with coloured dots marking equal time intervals

Projectiles at equal speed: range is maximum at 45°, and complementary angles (30° and 60°) share the same range. Image: Cmglee, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons.
