Achild is riding a merry-go-round that is turning at 7.18 rpm. if the child is standing 4.65 m from the center of the merry-go-round, how fast is the child moving? a) 5.64 m/s b) 3.50 m/s c) 0.556 m/s d) 1.75 m/s e) 1.80 m/s

B) 3.50 m/s

Explanation:

The linear velocity in a circular motion is defined as:

The angular frequency () is defined as 2π times the frequency and r is the radius, that is, the distance from the center of the circular motion.

Replacing (2) in (1):

We have to convert the frequency to Hz:

Finally, we calculate how fast is the child moving:

answer: f
