Several particles are executing uniform circular motion. If all of them have the same time period of revolution, which of the following graphs correctly represents the variation of their linear speed () with the radius () of their circular paths?
Options
- AA straight line passing through the origin
- BA straight line parallel to the radius axis
- CA rectangular hyperbola
- DA parabola passing through the origin
Correct answer
A. A straight line passing through the origin
Step-by-step solution
The linear speed of a particle in uniform circular motion is related to its time period and radius by the formula:
Since the time period is constant for all particles, the term is a constant.
Therefore, .
The graph of a directly proportional relationship is a straight line passing through the origin.
Answer: A straight line passing through the origin
Since the time period is constant for all particles, the term is a constant.
Therefore, .
The graph of a directly proportional relationship is a straight line passing through the origin.
Answer: A straight line passing through the origin
