Study Guide Overview

This study guide covers the relationship between linear and rotational motion. Key concepts include the relationships between linear and angular displacement, velocity, and acceleration. It also covers calculating the linear motion of a rotating point using these relationships and understanding angular velocity and acceleration in rigid systems. Finally, it emphasizes important boundary statements for the AP exam and provides practice questions.

Question 1 of 6

A wheel with a radius of 0.5 m is rotating at 4 rad/s. What is the linear speed of a point on the edge of the wheel? ๐Ÿš€

0.5 m/s

2 m/s

4 m/s

8 m/s
