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.

1. What happens when like charges come together?*
12345 [234]

Answer:

When like charges come together, they repel each other. For instance, when the north and south poles of a magnet come together, they push each other apart. The like poles in the magnet repel each other and unlike poles attract each other much. The same reaction occurs in like and unlike charges. Also, the repulsion acts along the line between the two charges.

What is an element that needs to lose or gain<br> 4 valence electrons in order to become<br> stable?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Elements in Group 14 could lose four, or gain four electrons to achieve a noble gas structure. In fact, if they are going to form ions, Group 14 elements form positive ions. Carbon and silicon form covalent bonds. Carbon's millions of organic compounds are all based on shared electrons in covalent bonds.
