Algebra.Com's Answer #393891 by Theo(13342) You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3000 rads per hour is equal to 3000 / 3600 rads per second which is equal to .83... rads per second. \n" ); document.write( "since there are 2*pi rads in one complete revolution of 360 degrees, then you have .83 / (2*pi) revolutions per second which comes out to be .1326291192 revolutions per second. \n" ); document.write( "i believe this is what you had \n" ); document.write( "your equation of 3000 rads/hour / 3600 / 2*pi) equals .1326291192 revolutions per second, same as i got above. \n" ); document.write( "to see if this is good, let's go in reverse. \n" ); document.write( ".1326291192 revolutions per second * 3600 = 477.4648293 revolutions per hour. \n" ); document.write( "477.4648293 revolutions per hour * 2*pi rads per revolution equals 3000 rads per hour. \n" ); document.write( "it all checks out so the answer appears to be good. \n" ); document.write( "your answer, however, is not the same answer i god. \n" ); document.write( "your answer was 1.3 revolutions per second. \n" ); document.write( "you divided 3000 rads/hour find to get rads per second. \n" ); document.write( "you divided that further by 2pi which was good. \n" ); document.write( "only your arithmetic was off. \n" ); document.write( "you got 1.32..... when you should have gotten .132..... \n" ); document.write( "i see what you did. \n" ); document.write( "you divided 3000 by 7200 and then multiplied that by pi. \n" ); document.write( "that gets you 3000/7200 = .416666 which was then multiplied by pi to get 1.308999 which you then rounded to 1.3 \n" ); document.write( "you needed to divide 3000 by (7200*pi) \n" ); document.write( "first you muiltiply 7200 * pi and then you divide 3000 by the result.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
