Rotational Motion

The initial momentum of the rocket on its launching pad is zero. When it is fired from the launching pad, the exhaust gases rush downward at a high speed and to conserve linear momentum, the rocket move upwards.

Step 1: Relate tangential velocity to angular velocity.
The tangential velocity is related to angular velocity by the equation: where is the radius and is the angular velocity.
Step 2: Analyze the motion.
Since the problem states that the angular velocity is constant, and the radius of the rotation does not change, the tangential velocity will remain constant as well.
