Linear and Angular VelocityEasyQuestion 30603

Question

Relation between linear speed v and angular speed ω for a point at radius r:
  1. A
    v = ω/r
  2. B
    v = ω²r
  3. C
    v = ωr
    Correct
  4. D
    ω = vr

Correct answer

v = ωr

Explanation

v = rω. Points farther from the axis have greater linear speed for the same angular speed.
