document.write( "Question 1034721: A bicycle has a front wheel with a diameter of 35 cm and a back wheel with a diameter of 50 cm. Through what angle (in radians) does the back wheel turn if the front wheel traveled 30m? How many radians did the front wheel turn? \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #649403 by fractalier(6550)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The circumferences of the front and rear wheels are .35(pi) and .5(pi) m, respectively. \n" ); document.write( "If the front wheel turns 30m, then it has turned 30/(.35(pi)) = 27.28 revolutions = 27.28(2pi) radians = 171.4 radians \n" ); document.write( "The back wheel has also traveled 30 m. Thus 30 m/.5 pi = 19.1 revs = 120 radians \n" ); document.write( " |
