Answer:
B. 7.07 m/s
Explanation:
The velocity of the stone when it leaves the circular path is its tangential velocity,
, which is given by

where
is the angular speed and
is the radius of the circular path.
is given by

where
is the frequency of revolution.
Thus

Using values from the question,

<em>Note the conversion of 75 cm to 0.75 m</em>

Answer:
No, distance is more important.
Free fall without air resistance:
g=9.81 m/s²
t=235 s
h=?
h=0.5*g*t²
h=0.5*9.81*235²
h=270879m =270 km
