Answer:
7.5 km/h (2.1 m/s) due east
Explanation:
The average velocity of the person is given by:
where
d is the displacement
t is the time taken
In this problem,
d = 15 km is the displacement
t = 2.0 h is the time elapsed
so the average velocity is
and the direction is the same as the displacement (east).
We can also convert the velocity into SI units (m/s). We have:
d = 15 km = 15,000 m
t = 2.0 h * 3600 s/h = 7200 s
The equivalent of the Newton's second law for rotational motions is:
where
is the net torque acting on the object
is its moment of inertia
is the angular acceleration of the object.
Re-arranging the formula, we get
and since we know the net torque acting on the (vase+potter's wheel) system,
, and its angular acceleration, 
, we can calculate the moment of inertia of the system:
where
Re-arranging the formula, we get
and since we know the net torque acting on the (vase+potter's wheel) system,
