Kyle’s bike wheel makes 20 revolutions every ten seconds and has a radius of 6.5 inches. How far will Kyle’s bike travel in 3 minutes?

Answer 1

Velocity = radius*angular velocity

Velocity = (6.5 in)(20 rev/10 sec)(2pi/rev) = 81.68 inches/sec

(81.68 in/sec)(60 sec/min)(3 minutes) = 14,702.65 inches
