As you stop your car at a traffic light, a pebble becomes wedged between the tire treads. Find a model for the distance between the pebble and the pavement (y) based on the distance you have gone (x) from the traffic light. The tires on the car have a diameter of 24 in.
circumference of the wheel = πd = 24π
x =distance travel/24π * 360 deg would give you the angle traveled around the wheel.
I am stumped from here.
