Two cars with masses and travel in circles of radii and , respectively. If they complete one circle in equal time, the ratio of their angular speeds is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The time taken to complete one circle is the time period .
Given that both cars complete one circle in equal time, their time periods are equal, .
The angular speed is given by .
Taking the ratio of the angular speeds of the two cars:
Since , we get .
