Q163 / 200 · Manipal (MET) 2010 · Physics
Two cars $A$ and $B$ move along a concentric circular path of radius $r_A$ and $r_B$ with velocities $v_A$ and $v_B$ maintaining constant distance, then $\frac{v_A}{v_B}$ is equal to
- A$\frac{r_B}{r_A}$
- Correct answerB$\frac{r_A}{r_B}$
- C$\frac{r_A^2}{r_B^2}$
- D$\frac{r_B^2}{r_A^2}$
Solution
Angular velocity $\omega$ is constant.
$\therefore v \propto r \text { or } \frac{v_A}{v_B}=\frac{r_A}{r_B}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
