Question

Write vector relation between angular velocity (ω), tangential velocity (V) and position vector (r).

Open in App
Solution

Any quantity or an unit that has direction are called as vector units.
Here,
The angular velocity is directly proportional to the product of tangential velocity and position vector.
That is , the angular velocity is equal to the tangential velocity if and only if they are equal in magnitude and in direction.
The relationship,
Angularvelocity=Tangentialvelocity×positionvector
w=v×r
The relationship holds true if and only if they are equal in magnitude and in direction.
