Question
On account of the earth rotating about its axis-
- the linear velocity of objects at equator is greater than at other places
- the angular velocity of objects at equator is more than that of objects at poles
- the linear velocity of objects at all places at the earth is equal, but angular velocity is different
- at all places the angular velocity and linear velocity are uniform
The correct answer is: the linear velocity of objects at equator is greater than at other places
