What is the relationship between angular velocity and linear velocity for a rotating object?.

  1. A.v = r * ω
  2. B.ω = r * v
  3. C.v = ω / r
  4. D.ω = v / r

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • v = r * ω

Explanation

Why this works

The formula v = r * ω defines the relationship between linear velocity (v), radius (r), and angular velocity (ω). This shows how linear velocity is directly proportional to both the radius and the angular velocity of the object.
