A helicopter blade rotates 770 times in 2 minutes find the rate in rotation per second?

3 answers

To find the rate in rotations per second, we need to divide the total number of rotations (770) by the total time in seconds.

The total time in seconds is 2 minutes, which is equal to 2 * 60 = 120 seconds.

So, the rate of rotation per second is 770 / 120 = <<770/120=6.4167>>6.4167 rotations per second.

Sure! Imagine you have a helicopter blade. This blade rotates, or spins around, 770 times in 2 minutes. We want to find out how many times it rotates in just 1 second.

To solve this, we need to divide the total number of rotations (770) by the total time in seconds (which is 2 minutes, or 120 seconds). So, we take 770 and divide it by 120.

When we do the calculation, we find that the helicopter blade rotates about 6.4167 times in just 1 second. So, we can say that the rate, or speed, of the helicopter blade's rotation is 6.4167 rotations per second.
