A mass is whirled in a circular path with constant angular velocity and its linear velocity is v. If the string is now halved keeping the angular momentum same, the linear velocity is

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Angular velocity =ω
Linear velocity =v
Length of string = Radius =r

If string is halved,r'=r2
Angular momentum,L=r×p
where,r= radius vector
and p = linear momentum
=r×mv∵θ=90o
=mvr
As L remain constant,
mvr= constant
⇒Ifr'→r2'v'=2vsuch that
mv'r'=m2v×r2
Hence, linear velocity will be 2 v.
