On a calm day, a windmill blade 6 m long turns 0.20 rad in 1s. What is the linear velocity of the tip of the blade?

Respuesta :

We are given the following information

Length of the windmill blade = 6 m

Angular velocity of the windmill = 0.20 rad/s

We are asked to find the linear velocity of the tip of the blade.

The linear velocity of the tip of the blade is given by

[tex]v=\omega\cdot L[/tex]

Where ω is the angular velocity of the windmill and L is the length of the blade.

Substituting the given values into the above formula, we get

[tex]\begin{gathered} v=0.20\cdot6 \\ v=1.2\; \; \frac{m}{s} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the linear velocity of the tip of the blade is 1.2 m/s
