The angular speed of a wheel 2020-09-03
From Catrina:
A car is moving at a rate of 75 miles per hour, and the diameter of its wheels is 2.6 in. Find the angular speed of the wheels in radians per minute.

Angular velocity 2018-12-05
From Kolade:
Krusty the Clown and Sideshow Bob have covered themselves in velcro, and shot themselves out of a large cannon so that they stick to a huge rotating velcro wheel (don’t try this at home). As shown in Figure 1(a), Krusty is now stuck to a point 3.00 m from the center of the wheel while Bob is stuck to another point 5.00 m from the center. The wheel is rotating counterclockwise at 10.0 rpm. Conveniently a set of axes is suspended just in front the wheel (Krusty asked for axes, like the ones you would use to chop wood, so that he and Bob could chase each other with them in the usual wholesome entertainment he is known for. Unfortunately, the set designer misunderstood.) The axes do not rotate with the wheel.
(a) Find Krusty’s and Bob’s angular velocities, in radians per second.

Angular speed 2017-01-21
From Kenzi:
A wheel of radius 14 inches is rotating 45°/sec. What is the linear speed in in/sec and the angular speed in RPM? (Round your answers to three decimal places)

I already found the linear speed. I got 10.996 in/sec. I don't know how to find the angular speed.

Revolutions per minute 2014-10-24
From Edward:
Hello; I have a 28.2 inch diameter tire; do not worry about engine RPM or gear ratios, please tell me what the RPM of that tire is at 8 MPH and 64 MPH. Thank you.

Sincerely; Edward

Revolutions per second 2012-10-18
From Crystal:
Suppose a car wheel is 26 inches in diameter.
a) If the tire completes one rotation, how far would the car travel?
b) If the car is traveling at 60 miles per hour, how fast is the car wheel spinning in revolutions per second?

From Jason:
7 in. pulley traveling @ 175ft/sec. What is the rpm?
Answered by Stephen La Rocque and Penny Nom.
Angular speed 2010-12-03
From Julie:
If the angular speed of a circle is 360 degrees divided by the time it took to rotate, how do I calculate ones that have greater rotations than the amount of time? I mean, you calculate the angular speed of a merry-go-around that spins once every 5 seconds by doing 360degrees/5 sec, but how do you calculate a merry-go-around that has 16 rotations every 4 seconds?

Angular & Linear Speed from a Sine Graph 2008-08-19
From Kim:
Kim, a student: I am given a graph with a wave. The amplitude is 5cm and the period is 4cm. I am suppose to find the angular speed. What I need to know is the formula for angular speed and how do I use these numbers to get the correct answer.

The current in a river 2008-06-12
From Joi:
To approximate the speed of the current of a river, a circular paddle wheel with radius 4 feet is lowered into the water. If the current causes the wheel to rotate at a speed of 10 revolutions per minute, what is the speed of the current? Express your answer in miles per hour.

Radians 2008-02-08
From Brian:
I'm teaching Precalculus right now and will be covering the formula to convert angular speed into linear speed. My question is about the units involved. Using v=rw, if r is mearsured in feet and w is measured in radians/second then v is measured in ft/sec. What happened to the units of radians? I can't find a good way to explain why they are not part of units for velocity. Do you have a good explanation? Thanks,
