A racecar makes 24 revolutions around a circular track of radius 2 meters in
162 seconds. Find the racecar's frequency

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]0.15\: \mathrm{Hz}[/tex]

Explanation:

The frequency is of an object is given by [tex]f=\frac{1}{T}[/tex], where [tex]T[/tex] is the orbital period of the object.

Since the racecar makes 24 revolutions around a circular track in 162 seconds, it will take the racecar [tex]\frac{162}{24}=6.75\:\mathrm{s}[/tex] per revolution.

Therefore, the frequency of the racecar is [tex]\frac{1}{6.75}=\fbox{$0.15\:\mathrm{Hz}$}[/tex] (two significant figures).

The radius of the track is irrelevant in this problem.
