Question

At a carnival, you ride the "Tilt a Whirl" that achieves an angular speed of 0.76 radians per second. If the ride has a radius of 5 meters, what linear speed in meters per second of a person standing on the wall of the ride achieve?

Answer 1

Given data

*The given angular speed is

`\omega=0.76\text{ rad/s}`

*The radius of the ride is r = 5 m

The formula for the linear speed in meters per second of a person standing on the wall of the ride is given as

`v=\omega r`

Substitute the known values in the above expression as
