    Tangental velocity
    A fly on the outer edge of a 4m diameter airplane propeller starts from rest and rotates 800 times in 8 seconds. Find the tangental velocity after 8 seconds.

    I have no idea how to figure this out can someone help me!

    Recall:

    t = 8 s
    u = 0
    s = 800 * Circumference
    a = ?

    to find the acceleration

    Then use:

    v = u + at

    to find the final speed v.

    Remember:



    You have d, the diameter.
