Question

A bicycle tire has a radius of 0.23 m. the tire spins at a constant speed with a centripetal acceleration of 42 m/s2. what is the tangential speed of the tire? 3.1 m/s 6.5 m/s 9.7 m/s 14 m/s

Answer 1

(a)

Step-by-step explanation:

3.1 m/s

Answer 2

a = v^2/r centripetal acceleration

v = (a * r)^1/2 = (42 * .23)^1/2 = 3.1 m/s
