A horizontal disk rotates about a vertical axis through its center. Point P is midway between the center and the rim of the disk, and point Q is on the rim. If the disk turns with constant angular velocity, which of the following statements about it are true? (There may be more than one correct choice.) A) P and Q have the same linear acceleration. B) P is moving half as fast as Q. C) The linear acceleration of P is half as great as the linear acceleration of Q. D) The linear acceleration of Q is half as great as the linear acceleration of P. E) The angular velocity of P is twice as great as the angular velocity of Q.
