Question
A particle rotates in U.C.M. with tangential velocity V along a horizontal circle of diameter ‘D' . Total angular displacement of the particle in time 't' is..........
Options
vt
(v/D)-t
vt/2D
2vt/D

Solution
`(2("vt"))/D`
Velocity= v ; Diameter= D →Radius= `D/2`
`omega=theta/t andv=r*omega`
`therefore v=D/2*theta/t`
`therefore theta=(2vt)/D`
