A particle at the edge of a disk makes 1600 revolutions in one hour while traveling at 0.333 m/s. What is the radius of the disk in centimeters?
Added by Taylor L.
Step 1
Since the particle makes 1600 revolutions in one hour, and each revolution corresponds to the circumference of the disk, we can express the total distance as: \[ \text{Total distance} = 1600 \times \text{Circumference of the disk} \] Show more…
