# A motorcycle has tires with a diameter of \( 44.0 \) \( \text{cm} \). Cruising down the highway, they are rotating at \( 1150 \) \( \text{rpm} \) (revolutions per minute).

A motorcycle has tires with a diameter of \( 44.0 \) \( \text{cm} \). Cruising down the highway, they are rotating at \( 1150 \) \( \text{rpm} \) (revolutions per minute).

**Part a)** Calculate the angular velocity of the tires in \( \text{rad/s} \). *(3 points)*

**Part b)** Determine the frequency in \( \text{Hz} \) and the period in \( \text{s} \) of the tire’s rotation. *(3 points)*

**Part c)** Find the tangential velocity of the outer edge of the tires, giving the answer in \( \text{m/s} \) and in \( \text{km/h} \). *(3 points)*
