Linear and Angular Velocity — Quiz

Question 4 • Precalculus

An object travels along a circular path so that it completes one revolution in 8 seconds. If the linear velocity of the object is 90 pi inches per minute, what is the diameter, in inches, of the circular path?

Answer
A
12
B
5 point 6 2 5
C
6
D
11 point 2 5

Explanation

Eight seconds per revolution means the object makes 60 ÷ 8 = 7.5 revolutions per minute. Its distance per revolution is therefore 90π ÷ 7.5 = 12π inches, which is the circle’s circumference. Since circumference = π × diameter, the diameter is 12 inches, choice A.
