For a tire on a car is rolling smoothly and It's center of mass is moving at 18 m/s, the speed of the top of the tire is mathematically given as
Vtop=36m/s
Generally, the equation for the relationship between the top and the core is mathematically given as
Vtop=2*(vcore)
Threrefore
Vtop=2*18
Vtop=36m/s
In conclusion, the speed of the top
Vtop=36m/s
