The cutting cord on a gas-powered weed cutter is 0.12 m in length. If the motor rotates at the rate of 18.5 rev/s, what is the approximate linear speed of the end of the cord? Round to the nearest tenth of a m/s.
The end of the cutting cord on a gas-powered weed cutter is 0.21 m in length. If the motor rotates at the rate of 20 rev/s, what is the tangential speed of the end of the cord?
The end of the cutting cord on a gas powered weed cutter is 0.15 m in length. If the motor rotates at the rate of 30 rev/s, what is the tangential speed of the end of the cord? a) 28 m/s b) 25 m/s c) 19 m/s d) 15 m/s
