Given:
Diameter of the wheel = 50 feet
Time taken for one revolution = 2 minutes
To Find:
speed and how far will you travel in 5 minutes
Solution:
The distance travelled in 1 revolution = circumference of the circle
The distance travelled in 1 revolution = [tex]2 \pi r[/tex]
The Distance travelled in 1 revolution =[tex]2 (\pi) (50)[/tex] = [tex]100 \pi[/tex] = 314.15 feet
Speed =[tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{314.15}{2}[/tex] = 157.0 feet/minute
In 2 minutes the wheel will travel = 314.15 feet
So in one minutes the wheel travel =[tex]\frac{314.15}{2}[/tex]
In one minutes the wheel travel = 157.0 feet
In 5 minutes, the wheel will travel = [tex]157.0 \times 5[/tex] = 785.39 feet/minute
