A bicycle has wheels with a diameter of 42cm. The bicycle is ridden in a straight line at a constant speed. The wheel makes 250 revolutions per minute. What is the speed of the bicycle in kilometres per hour? About the author Parker
Answer: diameter = 49cm; radius = diameter/2 = 24.5cm; circumference = 2πr ≈ 153.94 = 154cm 1 revolution = 154cm 50 revolution = 7700cm = 77m I hope I am correct. Reply
Answer:
diameter = 49cm;
radius = diameter/2 = 24.5cm;
circumference = 2πr ≈ 153.94 = 154cm
1 revolution = 154cm
50 revolution = 7700cm = 77m
I hope I am correct.

[tex]v = 2\pi(250)(0.21) \frac{60}{1000} = 19.8 \frac{km}{h} [/tex]
