A merry-go-round of radius 2 m is rotating at one revolution every 5 s. A child is located at 1 m from the axis. A teenager is located at 2 m from the
axis.
What is the angular speed of the child?
What is the angular speed of the teenager?
What is tangential speed of the child?
What is the tangential speed of the teenager?

a) The angular speed of the child is approximately 1.257 rad/s

b) The angular speed of the teenager is approximately 1.257 rad/s

c) The tangential speed of the child is approximately 1.257 m/s

d) For the child, r = 2 m

The tangential speed of the teenager is approximately 2.513 m/s

Explanation:

The revolutions per minute, r.p.m. of the merry-go-round = 1 revolution/(5 s)

The radius of the merry-go-round = 2 m

The location of the child = 1 m from the axis

The location of the teenager = 2 m from the axis

1 revolution = 2·π radians

Therefore, we have;

The angular speed, ω = (Angle turned)/(Time elapsed) = (2·π radians)/(5 s)

∴ The angular speed of the merry-go-round, ω = 2·π/5 radians/second

a) The angular speed of the child = The angular speed of the merry-go-round = 2·π/5 radians/second ≈ 1.257 rad/s

b) The angular speed of the teenager = The angular speed of the merry-go-round = 2·π/5 radians/second ≈ 1.257 rad/s

c) The tangential speed, v = r × The angular speed, ω

Where;

r = The radius of rotation of the object

For the child, r = 1 m

The tangential speed of the child = 1 m × 2·π/5 radians/second = 2·π/5 m/s ≈ 1.257 m/s

d) For the child, r = 2 m

The tangential speed of the teenager = 2 m × 2·π/5 radians/second = 4·π/5 m/s ≈ 2.513 m/s

cell differentiation  is how generic embryonic  cells  become specialized  cells. this occurs  through a process called gene expression. gene expression is the specific combination of genes that are turned on or off (expressed or repressed), and this is what dictates how a  cell  functions.
