Question

Q06: Referring to the Ferris wheel shown below and noting the direction of rotation, please compare the direction of the angular velocity vectors of the signs attached to the Ferris wheel at points A and C (they are on opposite sides of the wheel) They are: not enough information is given - the distance from point O to each of points A and C needs to be known first. in the same direction. in opposite directions, with each pointing radially inward from A and C toward O in opposite directions, with each being perpendicular to the line connecting A and C. perpendicular to one another.

Explanation / Answer

Direction of angular velocity can be found by right hand rule. If you fold all fingers except thumb in direction of rotation then direction of thumb gives direction of velocity vector. Since direction of rotation is same for both points the direction of velocity vector is same, it is outward perpendicular to wheel through backside
