The angular acceleration of a body, moving along the circumference of a circle, is :
- along the radius towards the centre
- along the tangent to its position
- along the axis of rotation
- along the radius, away from centre
Answer
(3) along the axis of rotation
Solution
= d dt
For motion in a circle, is an axial vector along the axis of rotation (right-hand rule); only its magnitude can change.
is also directed along the axis of rotation.
Answer: (3)
