  • Instantaneous Speed Calculation for a Rotating Tire - Engineering Problem
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Convert Units

    * Circumference to meters: 240 cm = 2.4 meters

    * Time to hours: 0.12 seconds = 0.12/3600 hours = 3.33 x 10^-5 hours

    2. Calculate Speed

    * Speed = Distance / Time

    * Speed = 2.4 meters / 3.33 x 10^-5 hours

    * Speed = 72,072 meters/hour

    3. Convert to km/hr

    * Speed = 72,072 meters/hour * (1 km / 1000 meters) = 72.072 km/hr

    Therefore, the instantaneous speed of the car is approximately 72.072 km/hr.
