The tip of the fan moves through the outer side of the circle.
So it moves a distance of perimeter of circle in one revolution.
Perimeter of circle = 2
r, where r is the radius of circle.
In this case radius of circular motion = 0.19 meter
So perimeter of circle = 2*0.19 = 0.38 = 1.194 m
So distance does the tip move in one revolution = 1.194 meter
KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²
KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (40 m/s)²
KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)
KE = (10 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)
KE = 16,000 Joules
