Tough Physics question! Help!

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-08-17] [Hit: ]
v = ωr = (11 s^-1)(1.3 m) = 14.......
One of the children on the merry-go-round is not holding on tight enough. If the radius of the merry-go-round is 1.3m, and the child falls off the edge at the maximum velocity of 11 rad/s, what is his new linear (tangential) velocity?

-
To convert from angular to tangential velocity just multiply by the radius.

11*1.3 = 14.3m/s

-
His linear velocity after he lets go will equal his tangential velocity before he lets go:

v = ωr = (11 s^-1)(1.3 m) = 14.3 m/s
