Question

The diameter of the wheel is 0.70 m. Find the distance covered by it in 500 revolutions. If the wheel takes 5 minutes to make 500 revolutions, then its speed in m/s is $2\frac{2}{3}m/s$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The distance traveled by a wheel in one revolution is equal to its circumference.

Circumference=$\pi$d

= 2.2 m

Distance travelled = 500$\times$2.2

= 1100 m

Speed = $\frac{Distance}{time}$

= $\frac{1100}{300}$

= $\frac{11}{3}$ m/s
