Answer:

Tangential velocity = 6 rad/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangential velocity of an object in a circular motion is the speed and direction at which it will move if it was suddenly detached from its constraining circular motion.

The tangential velocity of an object undergoing circular motion can be simply obtained by multiplying the angular velocity of the object by the radius of its path.

In this our case,

Radius of path = 2m

Angular velocity = 3rad/s.​

Tangential velocity = 2 X 3 = 6 rad/s
