5. A wheel of 0.5 m radius rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface. The axle of the wheel advances at constant velocity, moving a distance of 20 m in 5 s . The angular speed of the wheel about its point of contact on the surface is
(A) 2 radians ⋅s−1
(B) 4 radians ⋅s−1
(C) 8 radians ⋅s−1
(D) 16 radians ⋅s−1
(E) 32 radians ⋅s−1
