    The Linear velocity of a child sitting on the outside edge of the merry - go - round is 13 m/s

    Explanation:

    The given parameters are the radius of the merry go round which is 5.2 and the rotating speed is 2.5 revolutions per minute To find the linear velocity of a child sitting on the outside edge of the merry-go-round. we can use the equation v = rω where r is the radius and ω is the revolutions per minute that is the angular speed. When you substitute these values, the linear velocity would be 13 m/s
