A disk is rotating about a vertical axis of rotation with an initial angular velocity. There are two blocks sitting on the disk. A red block is located 0.5 m away from the axis of rotation. A blue block is located 1.5 m away from the axis of rotation. Which of the following is true? (Select two right answers!)   - The blue block has a higher angular velocity than the red block - The red block has a higher angular velocity than the blue block - The red block has the same angular velocity as the red block - The blue block has a higher linear velocity than the red block - The red block has a higher linear velocity than the blue block - The blue block and the red block have the same linear velocity
