An airplane propeller spins at 2,000 rev/min while the airplane files at at a speed of 476 m/s relative to the ground.  What is the linear speed of a point on the tip of the propeller at radius 1.5 m with respect to the ground.  (The tip rotational speed and the flying speed of the plane are perpendicular.  You will need the relationship v = ωr. ω is angular velocity in rad/s.  You will need to convert rev/min to rad/s.
