What is the equation that relates the linear speed of a point on a rotating object with the object's angular quantities?

$v = \frac{ω}{r}$
$v = r ω$
$v = \frac{α}{r}$
$v = r α$

40 .

As the angular velocity of an object increases, what happens to the linear velocity of a point on that object?

It increases, because linear velocity is directly proportional to angular velocity.
It increases, because linear velocity is inversely proportional to angular velocity.
It decreases because linear velocity is directly proportional to angular velocity.
It decreases because linear velocity is inversely proportional to angular velocity.

41 .

What is angular speed in terms of tangential speed and the radius?

$ω = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$
$ω = \frac{v}{r}$
$ω = r v$
$ω = r v^{2}$

42 .

Why are radians dimensionless?

Radians are dimensionless, because they are defined as a ratio of distances. They are defined as the ratio of the arc length to the radius of the circle.
Radians are dimensionless because they are defined as a ratio of distances. They are defined as the ratio of the area to the radius of the circle.
