Question

Explain how two people on a rotating carousel can have the same angular velocity but difference linear velocity.

Answer 1

they have different radius.

linear velocity= r * angular velocity

Answer 2

the length traveled by each is different since they travel on different circumferences

Answer 3

lets keep it simple and say they each travel in a full circle; would you agree that they have the same angle speed?

Answer 4

If so, then we compare the distance traveled for linear speed; as you can see the circumference of each is different, so they cover different distances in the same amount of time.

Answer 5

ok,ty

Answer 6

angle is the same ?
