A point on the edge of a flywheel with a radius of 10 cm is rotating at a rate of 14 radians per second. What is the linear speed of a point on its rim, in cm per minute?
Added by Scott L.
Step 1
In this case, the radius r is 10 cm and the angular speed ω is 14 radians per second. So, the linear speed v in cm per second is v = rω = 10 cm * 14 rad/sec = 140 cm/sec. However, the question asks for the speed in cm per minute. To convert from seconds to Show more…
