Answer the following angular speed questions.
(a) A wheel of radius 22 ft. is rotating 11 RPM counterclockwise. Considering a point on the rim of the rotating wheel, what is the angular speed ? in rad/sec and the linear speed v in ft/sec?
(b) A wheel of radius 8 in. is rotating 15o/sec. What is the linear speed v, the angular speed in RPM and the angular speed in rad/sec?
(c) You are standing on the equator of the earth (radius 3960 miles). What is your linear and angular speed?
(d) An auto tire has radius 12 inches. If you are driving 65 mph, what is the angular speed in rad/sec and the angular speed in RPM?
