what about this one:
A cyclist is moving at 6.7 meters/sec, on a bike with 0.25 m radius wheels. What is the angular speed of the wheels, in rad/sec?

The speed of the bike is the same as the speed of a point on the tire, right?
v = rĪ
6.7 = 0.25Ī
so, Ī = ___

To find the linear speed of a point on the circumference of the disk, you can use the formula:
Linear Speed = Angular Speed * Radius
In this case, the given angular speed is 6 rad/sec and the radius of the disk is 3 meters.
So, plug in the values into the formula:
Linear Speed = 6 rad/sec * 3 meters
Multiplying the values gives:
Linear Speed = 18 meters/sec
Therefore, the linear speed of a point on the circumference of the disk is 18 meters/sec.
