Answer :
Answer:
Raquel should adjust the number of rotations to 115.81 rotations
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the circumference of the wheels that are 2.5 cm in diameter
The circumference is equal to
[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]
we have
[tex]r=2.5/2=1.25\ cm[/tex]
assume
[tex]\pi =3.14[/tex]
substitute
[tex]C=2(3.14) (1.25)[/tex]
[tex]C=7.85\ cm[/tex]
step 2
Find the number of rotations
Divide 10 meters by the circumference
[tex]10\ m=1,000\ cm[/tex]
[tex]1,000/7.85=127.39\ rotations[/tex]
step 3
For a diameter of 2.75 cm find how should she adjust the number of rotations so that the robot travels the same distance
Find the circumference of the wheels
The circumference is equal to
[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]
we have
[tex]r=2.75/2=1.375\ cm[/tex]
assume
[tex]\pi =3.14[/tex]
substitute
[tex]C=2(3.14) (1.375)[/tex]
[tex]C=8.635\ cm[/tex]
step 4
Find the number of rotations
Divide 10 meters by the circumference
[tex]10\ m=1,000\ cm[/tex]
[tex]1,000/8.635=115.81\ rotations[/tex]
