Answer:

The car's angular speed is
(rad)/(s).

Step-by-step explanation:

Angular velocity is usually measured with
(radians)/(sec), so I'm going to use that to answer your question.

The relationship between tangential velocity and angular velocity (ω) is given by:


V = \omega R

Using the values from the question, we get:


2 (m)/(s) = \omega (0.4m)


\omega = 5 (rad)/(s)

Therefore, the car's angular speed is
5 (rad)/(s).

Hope this helped!
