A carnival ride has a radius of 2.18 m and rotates once every 0.82 sec. What would the speed of a rider be that has been flung from the ride? What would be the angular speed of a second rider who remains on the ride?
Added by Eric T.
Step 1
We can use the formula: v = rω where v is the linear speed, r is the radius of the ride, and ω is the angular speed. We know that the radius of the ride is 2.18 m and the ride rotates once every 0.82 sec. To find the angular speed, we can use the formula: ω = Show more…
