A 65.0 kg man is riding on a 12.5 kg bicycle. Together they have a kinetic energy of 2.80 x 10^3. If the bicycle has wheels with radii of 0.450 m, then their frequency of rotation is
Let the frequency of rotation is n.
Let the velocity is v.
Given that the mass of the man and the bicycle is m=(65.0+12.5) kg.
The radius of the wheels of the bicycle is r=0.450 m.
We know the formula of kinetic energy
Now let the angular velocity of the wheels is .
We know the linear velocity of the wheels
The frequency of their rotation is 3.0 Hz approximately.
