Question

An object is moving in a circular path of radius 4.00 m. If the object moves through an angle of 1.2 radians, then the tangential distance traveled by the object is 2.8 m. 3.2 m. 3.8 m. 4.3 m. 4.8 m.

Answer 1

Given that

radius R=4.00 m

angle =1.2radians

now we find the tangential distance

tangential distance =radius*angle

=4.00*1.2

=4.8 m

therefore the tangential distance is equal 4.8 m
