Two objects,m₁ and m₂,both of mass m,are place on a horizontal platform which is rotating at a constant angular velocity.m₁ = m is located at a distance R from the axis of rotation and the second object of mass m₂ = 2m is located at a distance 2R.The angular velocity of mass m₁____ to the angular velocity of m₂. A)is less than B)is equal to C)is greater than D)depends how fast it is rotating E)unable to tell

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since both objects are on the same platform rotating at a constant angular velocity, their angular velocities are the same regardless of their mass or distance from the axis of rotation.
