What is the angular speed of a car wheel of diameter 0.400m when the speed of the car is 108km/h?

A) 75 rad/s      B) 150 rad/s      C) 270 rad/s      D) 540 rad/s       Identify equation as w=v/r      Diameter = 0.4m  Radius  = half the diameter = 0.2m       Velocity needs to be in m/s so 108km/h = 1...

An ideal gas undergoes a transformation in which both its pressure and volume double. How many times does the root mean square speed of the gas molecules increase?

In solving this, the ideal gas law must be considered (pV=nRT). Since both the pressure and volume of the gas have doubled, the product p*V (pressure times volume) has increased four times from the initia...

How does an object in circular motion experience acceleration when it is going at a constant speed?

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. The important thing to realise here is that velocity is a vector quantity while speed is a scalar one. An object going in circular motion has con...
