Consider a fan that has rotated by a total of 2 complete revolutions from where it started. This quantity (2 revolutions) is analogous to what quantity in linear kinematics?

Position

Displacement

Velocity

Speed

Time

Homework Equations



I am leaning towards velocity since displacement over time is velocity...

Is time mentioned at all in the question, aside from the possible answers?
 
Then it's probably not anything to do with time, like velocity or speed.
