Hii,

If two objects are attached at the ends of a rigid body (like a rod or wheel), yes, their angular velocity remains the same.

Here's why:

  • Angular velocity refers to how fast something is rotating (angle per unit time), not how fast it's moving in a straight line.

  • In a rigid body, all points rotate with the same angular velocity around the axis of rotation.

  • Even if the two objects are at different distances from the axis, their linear (tangential) velocities will be different, but their angular velocities will be the same.


Example:

Imagine two balls attached to the ends of a rotating stick:

  • The stick rotates about its center.

  • Both balls complete one full circle in the same amount of time.

  • So, both have the same angular velocity (say, 2π radians per second).

  • But the ball farther from the center travels a longer path in the same time → it has a higher linear speed, not angular speed.
