Answer» Explanation: Given : Diameter of car wheel = 60 cm Radius = 30 cm (radius is half of diameter) =0.3 m (1 cm = 0.01 m) Circumference of the wheel = 2\pi r = 2(3.142)(0.3)=1.8852 meters Average Speed of the car is 13.2m/s . One hour = 3600 seconds Distance covered in one hour = 3600x 13.2 =47520 meters Number of REVOLUTIONS in one hour = (Distance covered in an hour) ÷ (Circumference of the wheel ) = 47520 ÷ 1.8852 =25206.8746022 ≈25207 [Rounded to the nearest WHOLE number.] ∴ The car MADE 25207 revolutions per hour . |
