Why can't you use 350 seconds for the T in the Tangential Velocity formula? T is period, not total time That's just too many seconds. Honestly, you probably can. Because its on the bottom of the fraction.

The correct answer is: Because its on the bottom of the fraction.In the formula for tangential velocity, v = rω, where v is the tangential velocity, r is the radius, and ω is the angular velocity, the period (T) is in the denominator because it represents the time it takes for one complete revolution. Therefore, using 350 seconds for the T in the formula would not be appropriate because it would result in an incorrect calculation of the tangential velocity.
