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.

The linear acceleration will be maximum when angle between r and a is _.
Centripetal acceleration always acts _ the centre.
One wheel has a diameter of 30 inches and a second wheel has a diameter of 20 inches. The first wheel travels certain distance revolution in 240 revolutions. In how many revolutions did the second wheel travel the same distance?
If we double, both the speed of the body and radius of the circular path, the centripetal force will be:
