Answer:

6.28 m

Explanation:

Given: A wheel with radius
1\text{m} rolled in a straight line through one complete revolution on a flat horizontal surface.

To Find: How many meters did the center of the wheel travel horizontally from its starting location.

Solution:

consider the figure attached.

radius of wheel
=1\text{m}

horizontal distance traveled by wheel in one complete revolution


=\text{circumference of wheel}


=2\pi\text{r}


=2*3.14*1


=6.28\text{m}

As, the distance traveled by center is equal to the distance traveled by wheel


6.28\text{m} is traveled by the center
