rotational motion: crash course physics #11
multiple - choice question
objects closer to the center have a greater tangential velocity.
false
true

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for tangential velocity

The formula for tangential velocity \(v = r\omega\), where \(r\) is the distance from the center and \(\omega\) is the angular velocity.

Step2: Analyze the relationship between \(r\) and \(v\)

Since \(\omega\) is constant for a rotating object, \(v\) is directly proportional to \(r\). So, as \(r\) decreases (objects closer to the center), \(v\) decreases.

Answer:

False
