Algebra.Com's Answer #115175 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! To the nearest revolution per minute, find the angular velocity of a 28 inch bicycle wheel that has a linear speed of 30 miles per hour. \n" ); document.write( "------------------- \n" ); document.write( "First, get the units to match. \n" ); document.write( "30 mph = 44 ft/sec = 528 inch/sec \n" ); document.write( "Find the rev per second, then rpm. \n" ); document.write( "The circumference is 28*PI inches, so the rps is \n" ); document.write( "528/(28*PI) and the rpm is 60 times that, or \n" ); document.write( "60*528/(28*PI) \n" ); document.write( "= 360 rpm\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
