Answers
Question :-
A cyclist goes around a circular path once every 2 minutes . If the radius of the circular path is 105 meters . Calculate the speed of the cyclist ?
Answer :-
Given :-
A cyclist goes around a circular path once every 2 minutes .
Radius of the circular path = 105 meters
Required to find :-
- Speed of the cyclist ?
Formula used :-
Solution :-
Given information :-
A cyclist goes around a circular path once every 2 minutes .
Radius of the circular path = 105 meters
we need to find the speed of the cyclist .
In order to find the speed we need to know the distance & time .
So,
Let's find the distance and time
Here,
we need to apply a bit logic . The logic is that ;
The cyclist goes around a circular path . which means he goes around the boundary of the circular path .
which gives us a clue that ;
If we calculate the perimeter/circumference of the circular path then we can find the distance .
This is because,
Distance travelled by the cyclist = Perimeter of the cyclist
So,
Using the formula ;
Perimeter of the circle = 2 π r
=> 2 x 22/7 X 105
=> 2 x 22 x 15
=> 44 x 15
=> 660 meters
Hence,
- Distance = 660 meters
Now let's find the time ;
Since it is mentioned that ,
A cyclist goes around a circular path once every 2 minutes .
so, it means that he takes 2 minutes to go around around the circular path
Hence,
- Time = 2 minutes
Now,
let's convert this time from minutes to seconds .
Because, the distance in given in terms of meters .
So,
1 minute = 60 seconds
2 minutes = ?
=> 2 x 60
=> 120 seconds
Using the formula ;
Speed = 660/120
Speed = 66/12
speed = 33/6
Speed = 5.5 m/s
Therefore,
Speed of the cyclist = 5.5 m/s
✴ A cyclist goes around a circular path once every 2 min. if the radius of the track is 105 m. Calculate the speed.
➡ The speed of a cyclist goes around a circular path is 5.5 m/s.
The Radius of track, (r) = 105 m
Time took to complete a revolution (t) = 2min
= 120 second
We know ,
The circumference or distance of circle = 2πr
⇒2×22/7×105
⇒ 2 × 330
⇒ 660 m
∴ speed = distance / time
⇒660 m/ 120
⇒5·5m/s
________________________________
▶ The Circumference of circle is the perimeter of a circle or the measure of its boundary.
- Circumference of circle = 2πr
▶ The speed is the distance travelled per unit time by a body.
- Speed = Dist./Time
