Q. 9 - Precalculus Enhanced with Graphing Utilities

Question

The angular speed $w$ of an object traveling around a circle of radius $r$ is the angle $\theta$ (measured in radians) swept out, divided by the elapsed time $t$ .

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The solution is true .

Step 1. Given information

The angular speed $w$ of an object traveling around a circle of radius $r$ 

Step 2. Calculation

The statement "the angular speed $w$ of an object traveling around a circle of radius $r$ is the angle $\theta$ (measured in radians) swept out, divided by the elapsed time $t$ " is true since $w=\frac{\theta }{t}$ .
