First find the distance covered in one wheel rotation
distance = 2pi(13) = 26pi inches.
truck's speed = 50 miles/hr
= 58(5280)(12)/ 60 inches/min
= 61248 inches/min
Number of rotations per minute = 61248/26pi = 749.84 rotations/min
or your answer of 750 rpm
Hello I need help with this question. I know that the formula for angular velocity is w= theta/time. I also know that the answer is 750 rpm. I am just not sure how to get that answer
A truck driver travels at 58 miles per hour. The truck tires have a diameter of 26 inches. What is the angular velocity of the wheels in revolutions per minute (rpm)?
