Question

a car has wheels which are 80cm in diameter.howmany complete revolutions does each wheel make in 10 mins when the car is moving at a speed of 66km per hr

Answer 1

Diameter of the wheel of the car = 80 cm

Radius (r) of the wheel of the car = 40 cm

Circumference of wheel = 2πr

= 2π (40) = 80π cm

Speed of car = 66 km/hour

Distance travelled by the car in 10 minutes

= 110000 × 10 = 1100000 cm

Let the number of revolutions of the wheel of the car be n.

n × Distance travelled in 1 revolution (i.e., circumference)

= Distance travelled in 10 minutes

Therefore, each wheel of the car will make 4375 revolutions.
