Linear and Angular Velocity

Question 10 • Common Core Precalculus - MA3112 Quarter 1

State the linear velocity of the wheel, and explain why your answer is reasonable.

Answer

Answer:

The linear velocity is 40π feet per minute, or about 125.7 feet per minute. Each revolution covers the wheel’s circumference, 4π feet, so 10 revolutions per minute gives 10 × 4π = 40π feet per minute.
