Question:

A merry-go-round at a playground is a circular platform that is mounted parallel to the ground and can rotate about an axis that is perpendicular to the platform at its center. The angular speed of the merry-go-round is constant, and a child at a distance of 1.4 m from the axis has a tangential speed of 2.2 m/s. What is the tangential speed of another child, who is located at a distance of 2.1 m from the axis?
(a) 1.5 m/s
(b) 3.3 m/s
(c) 2.2 m/s
(d) 5.0 m/s
(e) 0.98 m/s
