Answer

$v = 6.49~m/s$

Work Step by Step

We can use the energy $E$ to find the angular speed. $\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = E$ $\frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}mr^2)\omega^2 = E$ $\frac{1}{5}(mr^2)\omega^2 = E$ $\omega^2 = \frac{5E}{(mr^2)}$ $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{5E}{(mr^2)}}$ $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{(5)(236~J)}{(28.0~kg)(0.380~m)^2}}$ $\omega = 17.08~rad/s$ We can use the angular speed to find the tangential velocity. $v = \omega ~r = (17.08~rad/s)(0.380~m)$ $v = 6.49~m/s$
