Problem
On a children's funfair ride, Lek sits on a unicorn, which is 2.5 m from the axis of rotation. Lek's brother, Yai, sits on a tiger, which is 4.5 m
from the axis of rotation. The merry-go-round completes ten rotations during their 5-minute ride.
(1) Calculate the angular velocity, ω , of the funfair ride.
(2) Calculate
- i** the linear speed of Lek's unicorn.
- ii** the linear speed of Yai's tiger.
