a wheel 0.5m in radius is rolling without slip on a level road.if the wheel is making 2 rotations per second.calculate the distance moved by the wheel in 3seconds
Answers
Given :
Radius of wheel = 0.5m
Frequency of rotation = 2 rps
To Find :
Distance covered by wheel in 3 seconds.
Solution :
❖ In this question, frequency of rotation is given so we can easily calculate angular speed.
Relation between angular speed and frequency of rotation is given by ω = 2π × f
» ω denotes angular speed
» f denotes frequency
By substituting the given values;
➙ ω = 2π × 2
➙ ω = 4π rad/s
In order to calculate linear distance covered by wheel first we need to find linear speed of the wheel.
➙ v = r ω
» v denotes linear speed
» r denotes radius
➙ v = 0.5 × 4π
➙ v = 2π m/s
♦ We know that speed is defined as the ratio of distance travelled to the time taken
➠ v = d / t
➠ 2π = d / 3
➠ d = 2π × 3
➠ d = 6π = 6 × 3.14
➠ d = 18.84 m

hope you got the answer clearly explained
