Question
A bicycle with 0.80 m-diameter tires is coasting on alevel road at 5.6 m/s. A small blue dot has been painted onthe tread of the rear tire. a) What is the angularspeed of the tires? Express your answerusing two significant figures. b)What is the speed of theblue dot when it is 0.80 m above the road? c)What is the speed of theblue dot when it is 0.40 m above the road?

Linear velocity of center of mass , V = 5.6m/s radius of the wheel, r = d / 2 = 0.4 m (a) angular speed, = V / r = 5.6 / 0.4 = 14rad / s (b) height = 0.8 m above the ground i.e at thehighest point speed of the dot = 2 V = 2 * 5.6= 11.2 m/s (c) height = 0.4 m above the ground speed of the dot = 2 V = 2 * 5.6= 7.92 m/s
