amistre64 · Answer

the length traveled by each is different since they travel on different circumferences

amistre64 · Answer

lets keep it simple and say they each travel in a full circle; would you agree that they have the same angle speed?

amistre64 · Answer

If so, then we compare the distance traveled for linear speed; as you can see the circumference of each is different, so they cover different distances in the same amount of time.
