Rotational motion

Question

A kid is standing on a

merry-go-round, 1.74 m from

the center, rotating at 2.38 rad/s

What is his linear velocity?

Could someone answer this thourgly ?

Answer 1

His linear velocity equals his angular velocity times his distance from the center of the merry-go-round, that is, (2.38 rad/s)(1.74 m) = 4.14 m/s.
