if the inside wheels of a car running a circular track are going half as fast as the outside wheel, determine the length of the track, described by the outer wheels if the wheels are 1.5m apart.
:
The inner wheel is going half as fast, therefore is covers the distance that is the cirumference of the inner circle which is half the circumference of the outer circle
the radius of outer circle is 2(1.5) = 3 m
therefore the length of the track for the outer wheel:
C =
C = 18.85
