The radius, r, of the child from the center of the wheel is
r = 1.3 m

The wheel makes one revolution in 4.2 s. Its angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(4.2 s) = 1.496 rad/s

The linear speed of the child is the tangential velocity, given by
v = rω
   = (1.3 m)*(1.496 rad/s)
   = 1.945 m/s

Answer: 1.95 m/s  (nearest hundredth)

Remember in solving any Physics problem it is important to write all the given parameter. Given are 1 complete revolution of merry go-round or can be written as 1rev/s, this should be converted to radians, since it makes one complete revolution. Radius given equal to 1.3 m from the center. Simply follow the process,  ω=1rev/s x 2πrads/rev  ω=answer will in "rad/s" or cancel the unit "rev". The formula to follow is Speed=rω. just multiply radius and the angular speed.

Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the circular track, r = 79 m

The coefficient of friction, \mu=0.39

To find,

The maximum speed of car.

Solution,

Let v is the maximum speed of the car at which it can safely travel. It can be calculated by balancing the centripetal force and the gravitational force acting on it as :

v=\sqrt{\mu rg}

v=\sqrt{0.39\times 79\times 9.8}

v = 17.37 m/s

So, the maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.
