Consider a car with its wheels rolling (not sliding) on the road. How fast must the auto move for some point on a wheel to reach the speed of sound? Explain

What will be an ideal response?


Half the speed of sound. The bottom of the wheel has zero linear speed, the middle has the car's speed, and the top of the wheel is moving at twice the axis speed.
