Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

as we know

v= ω r

where v is linear velocity

w is angular velocity

r is radius of rotation

from the above equation we can clearly observe that linear velocity is directly proportional to radius of rotation.

angular velocity being constant if we decrease radius of rotation linear velocity will also decrease.
