Question 1 • Common Core Precalculus - MA3112 Quarter 1
Wheel #1 and wheel #2 are spinning at constant rates. A point on the edge of wheel #1 travels with the same linear velocity as a point on the edge of wheel #2.Based on this information, can you conclude that the wheels have the same angular velocity? Explain your answer.
Answer
A
Yes, because angular velocity is directly proportional to linear velocity.
B
Yes, because both of the wheels are spinning at constant rates.
C
No, because determining angular velocity requires knowing the size of each wheel.
D
No, because angular velocity is not related to linear velocity.
