Document Summary

While every part of an object moving about an axis has the same angular displacement, each part of the object has a different linear displacement. Ie you farther you are from the axis of rotation, the greater the amount of linear displacement for the same amount of angular displacement: the linear displacement is radius x angular displacement. Further away from the axis of rotation so there is greater linear velocity: to make a long shot in golf you need a longer club (farther away from the axis of rotation) There is a constant change in linear speed and direction from one instant to another. Linear form: final velocity initial velocity over time.
