Which of the following is TRUE of a particle moving in a horizontal circle with constant angular velocity?
Energy is constant: Since the angular velocity (\(\omega\)) and radius (r) are constant, the speed remains constant. Kinetic energy depends only on mass and speed, so it remains constant.
Linear momentum varies: Linear momentum is a vector quantity. Although its magnitude is constant, its direction changes continuously in circular motion, so the momentum varies.
