Final answer:
False, the chronological order of recorded music is incorrectly listed. The edge with the highest speed, assuming all objects have the same angular velocity, would be the Vinyl record due to its larger radius.
Step-by-step explanation:
The chronological order of recorded music formats provided in the question is incorrect.
The correct sequence, from earliest to most recent, is generally: the phonograph cylinder (Edison's early recordings), the 78 rpm shellac disc, the 33 1/3 rpm (LP), the 45 rpm (single), the 8-track tape, the cassette tape, CDs, MP3s, and finally, digital downloads and streaming services.
Regarding the second question:
Which spinning object has the fastest edge speed?
If we have objects spinning at the same angular velocity, the one with the largest radius will have the highest linear speed at its edge because linear speed at the edge of a spinning object is a direct product of the angular velocity and the radius of the object (linear speed = angular velocity x radius).
Thus, between a Mini CD, a Regular CD, and a Vinyl record, the edge of the Vinyl record would have the highest speed.
