As you drive down the road at 13 m/s , you press on the gas pedal and speed up with a uniform acceleration of 1.02 m/s2 for 0.70 s. If the tires on your car have a radius of 33 cm, what is their angular displacement during this period of acceleration?

Answer:

The angular displacement is  [tex]\theta = 28.33 \ rad[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The speed of the driver is  [tex]v =13 \ m/ s[/tex]

     The acceleration of the driver is  [tex]a = 1.02 \ m/s^2[/tex]

      The time taken is [tex]t = 0.70 \ s[/tex]

      The radius of the tire is  [tex]r = 33 cm = 0.33 \ m[/tex]

The distance covered by the car during this  acceleration can be  calculated using the equation of motion as follows

        [tex]s = v*t +\frac{1}{2} * a * t^2[/tex]

Now substituting values  

       [tex]s = 13 * 0.70 +\frac{1}{2} * 1.02 * (0.700)^2[/tex]

      [tex]s = 9.35 \ m[/tex]

Now the angular displacement of the car with respect to the tire movement can be  represented mathematically as

      [tex]\theta = \frac{s}{r}[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]\theta = \frac{9.35}{0.33}[/tex]

      [tex]\theta = 28.33 \ rad[/tex]
