Q.

A disc of radius r = 20 cm is rotating about its axis with an angular speed of 20 rads-1. It is gently placed on a horizontal surface which is perfectly frictionless. What is the linear speed of any point on the periphery of the disc? (in m/s)

Detailed Solution

Since the surface is perfectly frictionless, the disc will not roll on the surface, it will simply keep on rotating at the place where it is placed. 

Now
Linear speed = distance from centre X angular speed
Given, r = 20 cm = 0.2 m and ω = 20 rad s-1.
Linear speed of point on the periphery = rω = 0.2 x 20 = 4 ms-1.
