The members of a high school basketball team are driving from calgary to vancouver,which is a distance of 675km.Each tire of their van has a radius of 32cm.If the team members drive at constant speed and cover the distance in 6h 45 min,what is the angular velocity,in radians/second,of each tire during the drive?

1 answer

675km/6.75hr = 100km/hr = 2778cm/s
tire circumference = 201cm
rotation speed is 2778/201 = 13.82 rev/s
12.82 * 2pi = 86.8 rad/s
