A car is traveling at a constant speed on the highway. Its tires have a diameter of 68.0 cm and are rolling without sliding or slipping. If the angular speed of the tires is 55.0 rad/s , what is the speed of the car?

Answer:

37.4m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

since the car doesn't accelerate, we can use the formula v=ωr where v is linear speed, ω is angular speed (rads/second) and r is radius. Substitute values for equation:

v=55*0.68

v=37.40
