Problem

A bicycle wheel of radius

35\,\text{cm}

starts from rest and rolls without slipping in a straight line. The wheel completes

250

full revolutions in

20\,\text{s}

. (a) Calculate the total linear distance covered by the wheel during the

20\,\text{s}

interval. (b) Determine the average linear speed of the centre of the wheel. (c) If the wheel instead completed only

199.5

revolutions in the same time, find the corresponding linear distance and comment on the fraction of a revolution represented by the difference.
