Question:
A symmetric spinning top,rotating clockwise at an angular frequency ω, is placed upright in the center of a frictionless circular plate. The plate then begins to rotate counterclockwise at a constant angular velocity ω. Assume the top's axis remains perfectly vertical and stable without any precession. From the perspective of an observer rotating with the plate, how does the top appear to rotate?
(A) The top appears stationary without any rotation.
(B) The top appears to rotate in the clockwise direction at an angular frequency ω.
(C) The top appears to rotate in the clockwise direction at an angular frequency 2ω.
(D) The top appears to rotate in the counterclockwise direction at an angular frequency ω.
(E) The top appears to rotate in the counterclockwise direction at an angular frequency 2ω.
