I dont really get linear and angular speed :(
A car is moving at the rate of 40 miles per hour and the diameter of its wheels is 2.5 feet.
a) Find the rotational speed of the wheels in revolutions per minute.
b) Find the angular speeds of the wheels in radians per minute.

\[V =\omega r\]
\[\omega = V/r\]

?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
angular speed
OpenStudy (anonymous):
um..can you show me how to solve this problem..? i have the formulas already..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
r is in feet so..change it to miles..))

wouldnt r = 1.25?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Lol....Giving direct answers is prohibited here
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I have the answer..I need to know HOW to solve it.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but 2.5 is the diameter
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yup....u r correct..

just subs nw
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 1.25 would be r
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1.25 feet
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok let me solve and see if i get it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and v= 40miles/hr

or \[\omega = 2\pi V/T\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
U can use any of them here..))
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nw solve this and tell me the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Hold on this willtakeme a while..Tyyy tho
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok..

the whole of the second hand of the clock moves at the angular speed of 1/60 of the way round in one second
the tip of the hand will have a faster linear speed because is further out from the center ,
it covers greater distance than a point mid way along the hand
