The penny-farthing is a bicycle that was popular between 1870 and 1890. As the drawing shows, this type of bicycle has a large front wheel and a small rear wheel. On a Sunday ride in the park the front wheel (radius = 1.20 m) makes 150 revolutions. How many revolutions does the rear wheel (radius = 0.340 m) make?

_______rev

Respuesta :

Answer:

1,031 revs.

Explanation:

Using angular motion equation,

s = 2π*r*n

Where,

s = length or distance covered

r = radius of the circle

n = number of turns/revolutions

2πrn1 = 2πrn2

Therefore,

r2n2 = r1n1

r2n2 = r1n1

n2 = r1n1 / r2

n2 = (1.20 * 292) / 0.340

= 1,030.588 revs

= 1,031 revs.

Answer:

1,031
