Question

A car has wheels of radius of 0.380 m and they rotate once every 0.100 s. What is the linear velocity of the wheels? (Units = m/s)

Answer 1

v = 23.87 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The radius of wheels, r = 0.380 m

The wheels rotate once every 0.1 s

We need to find the linear velocity of the wheels. The linear velocity of a wheel is given by :

`v=(2\pi r)/(t)\\\\=(2\pi * 0.38)/(0.1)\\\\=23.87\ m/s`

So, the required linear velocity of the wheel is equal to 23.87 m/s.
