Question

a spot of paint on a bicycle tire moves in a circular path of radius \\(0.29\text{ m}\\).

part a
when the spot has traveled a linear distance of \\(2.64\text{ m}\\), through what angle has the tire rotated? give your answer in radians.
express your answer using two significant figures.
\\(\phi = \\) \\(\text{rad}\\)

Explanation:

Relate arc length to angular displacement

$$ s = r\theta \implies \theta = \frac{s}{r} $$

Substitute given values

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Round to two significant figures

$$ \phi = 9.1\text{ rad} $$

Answer:

When the spot has traveled a linear distance of 2.64 m, through what angle has the tire rotated? Give your answer in radians.

Express your answer using two significant figures.
