A car has wheels with a radius if 42.0 cm.
Find the circumference of the the wheel
C+=+2%2Api%2A42
C = 263.89 cm
convert to meters
263.89/100 = 2.6389 meters

If the car is travelling at a speed of 90.0 km/h, what is the frequency of rotation of its wheels?
Find the speed in meters/sec
%2890%2A1000%29%2F3600 = 25 m/sec
:
25%2F2.6389 = 9.4736 rev/sec
