rω2 has unit of
Correct answer: D. ms-2
- A. N
- B. ms-1
- C. ms-3
- D. ms-2
Explanation
rω2 has a unit of ms-2, which is the same as linear acceleration. The correct option is D. Option A is incorrect because N is the unit of Force. Option B is incorrect because ms-1 is the unit of linear velocity. Option C is incorrect.

About Angular and Linear Quantities
Rotational motion relates angular displacement, angular velocity and angular acceleration to linear displacement, tangential velocity and tangential acceleration through the radius. Questions use radians, v equals r omega and tangential acceleration, while distinguishing tangential velocity from centripetal acceleration and angular quantities from their linear counterparts.
