Welcome to PHY 121 Blog Help. Here's how it works. For each homework question and lab report we will make a post, this will probably contain a few tips on what the problems are about and how to solve them. If you are stuck on something then instead of emailing us directly you should post a comment in reply to the relevant post. We will try to guide you through tough points and help you understand the problems and the concepts behind them.

In the lecture, it says that with a larger radius, you will have a larger velocity. So why is that ladybug 2 does not have a larger velocity than ladybug 1?

It depends on whether it's angular velocity or linear velocity. Which part of the question are you on?
How are we supposed to answer numerically if all we are given in the two ladybugs are at rest and one has half the radius of the other?
Other things must end up canceling out if not given. (The ladybugs are at rest on the disk, but the disk itself is spinning.)
