Classical Mechanics
Level

During their physics field trip to an amusement park, Tyler and Maria took a ride on the Whirligig, which has long swings spinning in circles at relatively high speeds. As part of their lab assignment, they estimated that the riders were making a full circle of radius \( 6.5 \text{ m} \) every \( 5.8 \) seconds. Determine the approximate speed of the riders on the Whirligig.
