Re: Physics Quiz 10

Just where do you define the tangential speed? Tangent to the circle subscribed through the wheels center line? if so rotation is 2ft/s* C/8.884ft=.2251rev/sec.

If "Tangential speed" is the slip between the wheel & the ground normal to the wheel axis, then life becomes more complicated & you need weight & friction. For instance a coefficient of 0 rotational speed is uncoupled from wheel speed.
