Question

Angular velocity of an object is the rate at which it ________.
1. rotates
2. changes its angular position
3. Both 1 and 2
4. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Both 1 and 2

CONCEPT:

• Angular velocity (ω): How fast the angular position or orientation of an object changes with time or How fast an object rotates or revolves relative to another point is known as angular velocity.
  • Angular velocity in terms of RPM (revolutions per minute) ​

EXPLANATION:

• In other words, the time rate of change of its angular position relative to the origin.
• The rate at which an object rotates is known as the angular velocity.
• The rotation is the change in the angular position of an object. Both terms are the same.
• So the correct answer is option 3.
