Answer:
a. 15.4 seconds
b. 0.455 m/s
Explanation:
a. The carousel rotates at 0.13 rev/s.
This means that it takes the carousel 1 sec to make 0.13 of an entire revolution.
This means that time it will take to make a complete revolution is:
1 / 0.13 = 7.7 seconds
Therefore, the time it will take to make 2 revolutions is:
2 * 7.7 = 15.4 seconds
b. Let us calculate the linear velocity. Angular velocity is given as:
where v = linear velocity and r = radius
The radius of the circle is 3.5 m and the angular velocity is 0.13 rev/s, therefore:
0.13 = v / 3.5
v = 3.5 * 0.13 = 0.455 m/s
Linear velocity is 0.455 m/s
