The angular speed of a wheel 2020-09-03

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

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?

A dead fly is stuck to a belt that passes over two pulleys 2009-03-21
From Jules:
A dead fly is stuck to a belt that passes over two pulleys 6 inches and 8 inches in radius. Assuming no slippage,how fast is the fly moving when the large pulley (8 inches) makes 21 revolutions per second ? How many revolutions per second does the small pulley make ? How long will it take the dead fly to travel 1 mile ?

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.

Pulleys and belts 2006-10-31
From Lynn:

A belt has a linear speed of 32 mph. It is spinning three pulleys.
Pulley A has diameter 14 in. radius = 7 inches
Pulley B has diameter 26 in. radius = 13 inches
Pulley C has radius 3 ft. radius = 36 inches

Angular speed in Radians per min for
I got
Pulley A= .08 rads/min Pulley B= .04 rads/min Pulley C=.01 rads/min

How many cm would pulley C travel in 14 seconds?

Angular velocity 2000-05-24
From Ashley Milliman:
The crankshaft of a particular automobile engine has an angular velocity of 1,500 rpm at 30 mph. The crankshaft pulley has a diameter of 10 cm, and it's attached to an air conditioner compressor pulley with a 7 cm diameter and an alternator pulley with a 5 cm diamter

At what angular velocities do the compressor and alternator turn?
