I need some quick help with linear velocity! I want you to work it out with me, DON'T JUST GIVE ANSWER. Question attached in comments.

OpenStudy (wholock):

OpenStudy (welshfella):

there is a relation between linear and angular velocity which I cant remember...

OpenStudy (welshfella):

first, you have to convert revs per second to rad/sec

OpenStudy (wholock):

Okay, so determine angular displacement first?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

angular velocity

OpenStudy (wholock):

Okay, one sec.

OpenStudy (wholock):

16pi rev/1sec

OpenStudy (wholock):

16pi rad/ 1 sec i mean

OpenStudy (wholock):

Is that it?

OpenStudy (wholock):

I'm sorry, I'm honestly lost...

OpenStudy (welshfella):

sorry i was called away yes thats right 8 * 2pi

OpenStudy (welshfella):

I'll check out that formula. 16pi because there's 2pi radians in one revolution

OpenStudy (wholock):

Okay, I mean, I already know the radius, which is 15cm, and I have to end up translating cm to m, and rev to velocity.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes - oh its simply v = r w where ww = angular velocity

OpenStudy (welshfella):

* w

OpenStudy (wholock):

I have so much trouble setting up dimensional analysis. Okay, so I think I might have it. 15cm * (1/100) * 16pi 7.54

OpenStudy (welshfella):

correct

OpenStudy (wholock):

Thank you so much!
