Formula for this ? Each tire on a car has a radius of 15 inches. The tires are rotating at 400 revolutions per minute. Find the speed of the automobile to the nearest mile per hour.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

now u can see the the one revolution = the circulm of one tire.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

post that the speed =distance/time

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

aha...

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

got it untill now or still confused ???

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

I'm getting you. :)

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

This is somewhat I think, linear speed,

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

its count circuler speed but the qs want u to convert it to linear speed ok now apply the form pefor speed =400 revolution ,, but u need to convert revolution to distance / miniute

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

I'm not getting you .. :/

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

speed=(400*circumference ) inches/minute find circum. now where u exactlye stuck??

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

one moment..

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

the question is asking for, mph, so... I should multiply it by 1 / 60 ?

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

I'm also thinking of, converting 400 rev / min to radians ,

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

u should do that at the end but first u need to covert the distance , but i think got the trick

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

by the way, is this angular speed or linear speed?

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

both ?

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

can you explain this to me again step by step? :)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

its anguler speed when its (revolution /minite) but the qs ask to convert it into linear of the form (inches/minute)=(mile/hour)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

ok ...

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

USing the formula V= R W ?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

now u wanna convert itt from anguler to linear speed , u have the furmula speed=distance/time

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

R is raduis and W is ??

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

|dw:1383627844588:dw|

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

that is the combined formula for linear and angular speed

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

mmm u can use that , but it well be phisics formula

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

but still its the same since on \[revolution (n) = \frac{ w }{ 2\pi }\]

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

so use that formula :) \[w=2\pi n \] such that n= revolutions

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

2pi rad over 1 rev right :)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

exactly

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

Thanks a lot :) sorry to bother you I'm really f*ck*d up today, today only :)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

so wat is u'll finall answer v=?

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

628 mph

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

inches =? mile ??

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

ohh forgot that

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

okay, quite lost here.
