Question 1157685: The diameter of each wheel of a bicycle is 27 inches. You are traveling at a speed
of 22 miles per hour on this bicycle. - What is the angular speed of the wheels in radians per minute? Is there a way to do this without first finding the revolutions per minute of the wheels? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find out how many inches / min it takes
for the wheel to trace out one revolution
( one circumference ) on the ground.
[ miles / hr ] x [ hrs / min ] x [ ft / mile ] x [ inches / ft ] = [ inches / min ] inches / min linear speed
-------------------
Let = circumference of the wheel inches
------------------------------
For angular speed:
[2pi radians / C ] x [ C / min ] = [ radians / min ]
1,720.89 radians/min
-----------------------------
check: rev/min
[ in / rev ] x [ rev / min] = in / min ] in / min
