A bike with tires of radius 0.330 m speeds up from rest to 5.33 m/s in 6.27 s. Through what angle do the wheels turn in that time?

Question

Hint: Remember to first convert linear velocity (v) to angular velocity (w). (Unit = rad)

Answer 1

Distance s = vt/2 = 5.33m/s·6.27s/2 = 16.71m. Angle θ = s/r = 16.71m/0.330m = 50.64 rad = 2901.46°
