Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:

When a wheel rotates without sliding, the straight-line distance covered by the wheel's center-of-mass is exactly equal to the rotational distance covered by a point on the edge of the wheel. So given that the distances and times are same, the translational speed of the center of the wheel amounts to or becomes the same as the rotational speed of a point on the edge of the wheel.

The formula for calculating the velocity of a point on the edge of the wheel is given as

$V_{r}$ = 2π r / T

Where

π is Pi which mathematically is approximately 3.14159

T is period of time

Vr is Velocity of the point on the edge of the wheel

The answer is left in Meters/Seconds so we will work with our information as is given in the question.

Vr = (2 x 3.14159 x 1.94m)/2.26

Vr = 12.1893692/2.26

Vr = 5.39352619469

Which is approximately 5.39

Cheers!

What does deposition mean in a sedimentary formation

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of that material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water. Deposition means that all the sediments, soil, and rocks are all compressed (tightly pressed into each other) and create sedimentary rocks.

I hope this helps! :)

Jake calculates that the frequency of a wave is 500 hertz and that the wave is moving at 1,250 m/s. What is the wavelength of th

Neko [114]

Frequency (f) = 500 hz (SI)
Velocity (V) = 1250 m/s (SI)
Wavelength (Lambda) = ? meters

$v = \lambda \times f$
$1250 = \lambda \times 500 \\ \lambda = 1250 \div 500 \\ \lambda = 2.5 \: meters$
