(a) The car is undergoing an acceleration of
[tex]a=\dfrac{22.7\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-0}{9.02\,\mathrm s}\approx2.52\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}[/tex]
so that in 9.02 s, it will have covered a distance of
[tex]x=\dfrac a2(9.02\,\mathrm s)^2\approx102\,\mathrm m[/tex]
The car has tires with diameter d = 58.5 cm = 0.585 m, and hence circumference π d ≈ 1.84 m. Divide the distance traveled by the tire circumference to determine how many revolutions it makes:
[tex]\dfrac{102\,\mathrm m}{1.84\,\mathrm m}\approx55.7\,\mathrm{rev}[/tex]
(b) The wheels have average angular velocity
[tex]\omega=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2=\dfrac{\theta_f-\theta_i}{\Delta t}[/tex]
where [tex]\omega[/tex] is the average angular velocity, [tex]\omega_i[/tex] and [tex]\omega_f[/tex] are the initial and final angular velocities (rev/s), [tex]\theta_i[/tex] and [tex]\theta_f[/tex] are the initial and final angular displacements (rev), respectively, and [tex]\Delta t[/tex] is the duration of the time between initial and final measurements. The second equality holds because acceleration is constant.
The wheels start at rest, so
[tex]\dfrac{\omega_f}2=\dfrac{55.7\,\rm rev}{9.02\,\rm s}\implies\omega_f\approx12.4\dfrac{\rm rev}{\rm s}[/tex]
