From the given data, the angular acceleration of the wheel is  

    Torque%2Fmoment_of_inertia = 3.64%2F0.147 = 24.76  radians%2Fs%5E2.


Hence, linear acceleration is  a = r%2A24.76 = %280.65%2F2%29%2A24.76 = 8.047 m/s^2,  where "r" is the radius.


In t = 4 seconds, the top speed is  a*t = 8.047*2 = 16.094 m/s.    ANSWER

Solved, answered and explained.
