Question

A kid is standing on a merry-go-round 1.14 m from the center rotating at 2.38 rad/s. What is his linear velocity?

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf v = 2.7\ m/s}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Radius = r = 1.14 m

Angular velocity = ω = 2.38 rad/s

Required:

Linear velocity = v = ?

Formula:

v = rω

Solution:

v = (1.14)(2.38)

v = 2.7 m/s

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`
