Question 1157801: The wheels of the mountain bike have a diameter of 26 inches and are revolving at 60 radians per minute. What is the linear velocity of the mountain bike in feet per hour?
please solve thanks!! Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The diameter is 26 inches and the radius is 13 inches.
60 radians a minute is 60*13=780 inches per minute
This is 65 feet per minute or 3900 feet per hour.
checking it the long way
9.55 revs per minute and 573 per hour
each rev is (26/12)*pi feet or 6.81 feet
573*6.81=3900 ft per hour
