The stupidest question ever on relative kinematics and angular velocity [duplicate]
I am scratching my head on a very basic formula whose meaning escapes my intuition.
On basically all texts of mechanics the following result is derived:
Suppose that a rigid body is moving with ...

How does relative motion work for an extended object?
I have this conceptual doubt which might be flawed very badly but I don't understand this particular thing. For example, if one end of a stick is moving with velocity $v_1$ and the other with $v_2$, ...

Angular velocity of a particle in uniform circular motion about a general point
This problem was given by our professor.
Consider a particle P executing uniform circular motion wrt the point O with uniform angular velocity $\omega$ anticlockwise whose cordinate is $(2R,0)$ in a ...

Relative velocity of a particle under uniform circular motion
The question is based on fairly simple mechanics principles but seems to have no definite answer.
Suppose there is a point particle A at a point X and around it another particle B in uniform circular ...
