A puck of mass m=180g on a horizontal, frictionless table is connected to a string that passes through a small hole in the table, as shown in the following figure (attached)
The puck is set into circular motion of radius R=50cm with a speed vi = 2.2 m/s. If the string is then pulled from the bottom as shown, so that the radius of the circular path is decreased to r=20cm, what is the final speed, vf, of the puck?
