Question 1020698: A car with a wheel of radius 14 inches is traveling at a velocity of 60 mph. What is the angular velocity of the wheel in rpm?
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
circumference of wheel is 28*pi inches or (28/12)*pi feet.
60 mph is 88 ft/sec
1 revolution is 7.33 feet
88 ft/sec divided by 7.33 feet/revolution is 12.005 revolutions per second.
that is 720.3 revolutions/minute, rounding at the end.
