in case of angular rotation linear velocity V=r*angular velocity ....now to increase angular velocity radius is reduced...so what if radius is made zero...will the angular velocity be infinite?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well if the radius becomes zero there won't be a circular motion at all. We have to consider limits in this situation. \[\lim_{r \rightarrow 0} (V/r) \] So as r tends to zero angular velocity will become huge.

OpenStudy (ghazi):

i can prove that there will be an angular motion ...i am just waiting for the answers..that this statement is bit contradictory .. :)..can you think of angular motion when r=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well we should only be considering limits in this situation,at r=0 as far as I know there won't be circular motion.Also could you share with us your proof.

OpenStudy (ghazi):

for sure i would love to share ideas coz theoretically it can be proven... i am just waiting....so i'll be grateful if you could wait please!! :)

OpenStudy (ghazi):

there is no need to look for centripetal force...because just consider a dancer rotating at it's place...and folding her arms to increase angular velocity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That has nothing to do with this.In the case of the dancer the moment of inertia decreases increasing the angular velocity. "Rotation is very different from circular motion".

OpenStudy (ghazi):

well simply just consider r=0 ....how come angular velocity becomes infinite ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll wait for your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In this condition there wont be any circular motion of the particle. the particle will rotate itself at one point with high speed

OpenStudy (dls):

i guess acceleration goes to infinity since r=0 that is pretty obvious

OpenStudy (ghazi):

by considering the definition of line mathematically it can be proven that at the axis of rotation there will be a motion at axis itself with infinite speed (theoretically) ...

OpenStudy (dls):

So,what's ur question?

OpenStudy (ghazi):

i am still wondering how come speed is infinite?
