Question
The circumference of a bicycle wheel is 2 meters. If it rotates at 1 revolution per second then its linear speed is? Group of answer choices3 m/s3.14 m/s2 m/s6.28 m/s
Solution
The linear speed of a wheel is calculated by multiplying the circumference of the wheel by the number of revolutions per second.
In this case, the circumference of the wheel is 2 meters and it rotates at 1 revolution per second.
So, the linear speed is 2 meters/revolution * 1 revolution/second = 2 meters/second.
Therefore, the linear speed of the bicycle wheel is 2 m/s.
