Finding the tangential speed... Help
i got it, it I shouldn't have doubled my time. My answer is 4.65 m/s right?

Tangential speed is the linear speed of an object moving along a circular path. It is measured in units of distance per time, such as meters per second or kilometers per hour.
Tangential speed can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled along the circular path by the time it takes to travel that distance. It can also be calculated by multiplying the radius of the circular path by the angular velocity of the object.
Tangential speed is a type of linear speed that specifically refers to the speed of an object moving along a circular path. Linear speed, on the other hand, refers to the speed of an object moving in a straight line.
Tangential speed is affected by the radius of the circular path, the angular velocity of the object, and the type of motion (uniform or non-uniform) of the object along the path.
Tangential speed is an important concept in physics because it helps us understand the motion of objects moving along circular paths, such as planets orbiting around the sun. It is also used in various real-world applications, such as calculating the speed of a car going around a curve or the speed of a Ferris wheel.
