Angular velocity.
A bicycle wheel has a diameter of 50 cm. If the bike travels at a speed of 9km/h, what is the angular velocity, in radians per hour, of a point on the edge of the wheel?
***
key: rev=revolution, 50πcm=circumference of wheel

km, rev, π, cm, cancel out

***
key: rev=revolution, 50πcm=circumference of wheel

km, rev, π, cm, cancel out

100 cm/km should be 100 cm/meter = 100000 cm/km
-----
--> 36000 radians/hr
