How can revolutions per minute be used to measure distance?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

using the circumference or the perimeter descibed in one complete revolutions multiplied by the number of revolutions performed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so revolution per minute divided by circumference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that sounds wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

revolution per minute multiplied by circumference

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is assuming that you're rolling something.. for a bike you'd have a k for the vary

OpenStudy (anonymous):

revolution per minute is measured in like m/s right? and circumference is in m. if it's multiplied it gives 1/s?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what if rpm is 30? how can distance be measured?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you were to flatten the circumference you'd get a straight line so in otherwords if you multiply that by how many times you made htat line you get a distance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you flatten the circumference you get the diameter right?
