Problem 1:
During their physics field trip to the amusement park, Tyler and Maria took
a rider on the Whirligig. The Whirligig ride consists of long swings which spin
in a circle at relatively high speeds. As part of their lab, Tyler and Maria
estimate that the riders travel through a circle with a radius of 6.5 m and
make one turn every 5.8 seconds. Determine the speed of the riders on the
Whirligig.
