Expert Solution
Step 1

Tangential Speed is defined as the speed at which a particle is moving on a circle.

                          Advanced Physics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

When a particle moves in a circle, there are two types of velocity

  1. Angular velocity (ω)
  2. linear velocity or tangential speed (v)

As the angular velocity is defined as,

ω=dθdt

where ω is the angular velocity, dθdt is the change in angular displacement with respect to time.

Translational speed or linear  is defined as,

v=ddt(rθ)=rddt(θ)

where v is the translational speed, ddt(rθ) is the change in the value of arc of a circle or linear displacement on the circle with respect to time.
