A bicycle wheel of radius 0.70m is turning at an angular speed of 6.3 rad/s as it rolls on a horizontal surface without slipping. What is the linear speed of the wheel?

Answer 1

The linear speed of a point on a rotating object can be calculated using the formula:

V = ω * r

Where V is the linear speed, ω (omega) is the angular speed, and r is the radius of the wheel.

Plugging in the given values:

V = 6.3 rad/s * 0.70 m
V = 4.41 m/s

Therefore, the linear speed of the wheel is 4.41 m/s.
