A rubber ducky is traveling around a drain pipe, slowly being pulled into the center of the circular motion of the water. It originally is 2.31m from the center of the drain traveling with a linear velocity of 1.95m/s but only a short time later, is it only 0.64m from the center. With what linear velocity is it traveling at that point?
