A) P and Q have the same linear acceleration.
B) Q is moving twice as fast as P.
C) The linear acceleration of Q is twice as great as the linear acceleration of P.
D) The linear acceleration of P is twice as great as the linear acceleration of Q.
E) The angular velocity of Q is twice as great as the angular velocity of P.
