How far does a point on the circumference travel if the wheel is rotated through an angle of 28.6 rads?
The wheel has a radius of 4.89m
R*theta = 28.6x4.89 = 139.85 meters
28.6 radians is about 4.55 turns of the wheel
If the wheel is rolling without slipping, it will move the same distance, 139.85 meters
To find out how far a point on the circumference travels when the wheel is rotated through an angle of 28.6 radians, we need to know the radius of the wheel. Let's denote the radius as "r".
The distance traveled by a point on the circumference of a wheel can be calculated using the formula:
Distance = Angle (in radians) × Radius
In this case, the given angle of rotation is 28.6 radians. So, the distance traveled by the point on the circumference can be calculated as:
Distance = 28.6 radians × r
To get the actual distance traveled, we need to know the value of the radius, "r".
