Answer

Object B has greater linear speed.

Work Step by Step

Text reference: p.477. Linear speed $v$ and angular speed $\omega$ are related by the formula $ v=r\omega$. ----------- If $\omega$ is the same for both objects, then $v_{A}=2\omega < 5\omega =v_{B}$. Object B has greater linear speed. (B traverses a greater arc length than A, in the same time period)
