Which is greater , the angular velicty of the hour hand of a watch or angular velocity of earth around its own axis ? |
Answer» For hour hand of watch, time period, ` T_h =12 h, For earth, `T_e= 24 h`. Angular velocity, ` omega=(2 pi)/ T` :. ` (omega _h)/(omega_e) = T_e/T_h = (24)/(12) =2` or ` omega_h=2 omega_e` Thus angular velocity of hour hand of a watch is greater than the angular velocity of earth around its own axis. |
