A carousel has a radius of 20 feet and takes 27 seconds to make one complete revolution.
\n" ); document.write( " What is the linear speed of the carousel at its outside edge?
\n" ); document.write( " Express the answer in feet per second.
\n" ); document.write( " If necessary, round the answer to two decimal places. Need step by step answers and explanation:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The outer edge of the carousel is it's circumference, the radius is given as 20
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C+=+2%2Api%2A20\"$
\n" ); document.write( "C = 125.664 feet is the circumference of the carousel
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "It travels 125.664 ft in 27 sec
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( " $\"125.664%2F27\"$ = 4.65 ft/sec is the speed at the outer edge of the carousel
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
