Question
Linear Speed. A flywheel with a 15 -cm diameter is rotating at a rate of 7 radians/sec. What is the linear speed of a point on its rim, in centimeters per minute?
Step 1
The radius (r) of the flywheel can be calculated by dividing the diameter by 2. So, the radius is \(r = \frac{15}{2} = 7.5\) centimeters. Show more…
