A wheel of diameter 26 cm turns at 1500 rpm. How far will a point on the outer rimmove in 2.0 s?1) 3.1 m12) 41 m3) 90 m4) 180 m

Sagot :

Given,

The diameter of the wheel, d=26 cm=0.26 m

Therefore the radius of the wheel, r=d/2=0.13m

Time period, t=2.0 s

Frequency of the revolution, f=1500 rpm

1 relovution=2π radian.

Therefore the angular velocity is calculated as,

[tex]\omega=\frac{1500\times2\pi}{60}=157.1\text{ rad/s}[/tex]

The angular velocity and angular displacement are related as,

[tex]\omega=\frac{\theta}{t}[/tex]

On rearranging the above equation and substituting the known values,

[tex]\theta=\omega t=157.1\times2.0=314.2\text{ rad}[/tex]

We can calculate how far the rim has moved by using the following relationship,

[tex]s=r\theta[/tex]

Where 's' is the distance of the movement of the rim,

On substituting the known values in the above equation,

[tex]s=0.13\times314.2=40.8\text{ m}\approx41\text{ m}[/tex]

Therefore the correct answer is option 2, 41 m
