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.

You open a bank account and deposit $10. Every month you deposit $25 dollars. Let T represent the total money in your account af
Pavlova-9 [17]
The total money that will be present in the bank account, disregarding the percent rate of money increase is the sum of the initial deposit and the all the amounts deposited for m months, 25m. Thus, the answer should be,
                                    T = 10 + 25m

Suppose a 4000 kg elephant is hoisted 20m above Earth's surface. What will be the elephant's gravitational potential energy?
inna [77]
We know, U = m * g * h
U = 4000 * 9.8 * 20
U = 784000 J

In short, Your Answer would be: 784000 J or 784 KJ

Hope this helps!
