Rotational Motion Question 188

Question: A and B are moving in 2 circular orbits with angular velocity 2ω and ω respectively. Their positions are as shown at t=0 . Find the time when they will meet for the first time.

Options:

A) π2ω

B) 3π2ω

C) πω

D) they will never meet

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] Case 1: When they rotate in same sense

2mπ=2ωt

3π2+2nπ=ωt;2mπ=2(3π2+2nπ)

2m=3+4n;m=32+2nm2n=32

Not possible for m and n being integer.

Case 2: When they rotate in opposite sense

π2+2nπ=ωt;2mπ=2(π2+2nπ)

2mπ=π+4nπ;2m4n=1

Not possible for m and n integer.
