(N/A) For a particle in rotational motion,the linear velocity $\vec{v}$ of a particle at a position vector $\vec{r}$ from the axis of rotation is given by the cross product of the angular velocity $\vec{\omega}$ and the position vector $\vec{r}$.
The relationship is expressed as: $\vec{v} = \vec{\omega} \times \vec{r}$.
