Q97 / 180 · AIIMS 2004 · Physics

The direction of the angular velocity vector is along

A
the tangent to the circular path
B
the inward radius
C
the outward radius
Correct answer
D
the axis of rotation.

Solution

According to the right hand rule wrap the right hand around the axis of rotation so that the fingers are pointing in the direction of rotation. The thumb points in the direction of angular velocity.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
