Linear speed v and angular speed omega relation for circular motion:

Av = r²/omega
Bv = omega/r
Cv = omega × r
Dv = r/omega
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. v = omega × r
v = omega × r. **So the linear speed increases linearly with distance from rotation axis, even though all particles have the same omega.**
