Question

If the position vector of a particle is $\overrightarrow{r}=(3\hat{i}+4\hat{j})$ meter and its angular velocity is $\overrightarrow{\omega }=(\hat{j}+2\hat{k})$ rad/sec then its linear velocity is (in m/s)

• A.
• B.
• C. -
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$\overrightarrow{v}=\overrightarrow{\omega }\times \overrightarrow{r}=(3\hat{i}+4\hat{j}+0\hat{k})\times (0\hat{i}+\hat{j}+2\hat{k})=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{i}& \hat{j}& \hat{k}\\ 3& 4& 0\\ 0& 1& 2\end{array}\right|=8\hat{i}-6\hat{j}+3\hat{k}$
