Question
A track star runs a 400-m race on a 400-m circular track in 45 s. What is his angular velocity assuming a constant speed?
Solution
VerifiedStep 1
1 of 2
Since the perimeter of the circular track is , and the distance covered by the runner is also , this means that the runner covered precisely one circumference, hence the angle covered is . We proceed to use the definition of angular speed to calculate . Note that and are equal to and respectively, because the rotation occurs at constant speed.
