Problem

The wheels of a car each have a radius of 0.35 m0.35\,\text{m}. During a road test a wheel makes 600600 complete rotations in 5 min5\,\text{min}. Assume the wheels do not slip on the road. a. (i) Find the time taken for one rotation of the wheel. b. (ii) Calculate the speed of a point on the rim of the wheel. c. (iii) Hence determine the speed of the car. d. (iv) How much distance will the car cover in 30 min30\,\text{min} at this speed?
