Question: Answer the following angular speed questions. ( Enter your answers using exact values. ) ( a ) A wheel of radius 2 2 ft .

Answer the following angular speed questions. (Enter your answers using exact values.)
(a) A wheel of radius 22 ft. is rotating 14 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?
=
rad/secv =
ft/sec
(b) A wheel of radius 8 in. is rotating 15/sec. What is the linear speed v, the angular speed in RPM and the angular speed in rad/sec?
v =
in/sec=
rpm=
rad/sec
(c) You are standing on the equator of the earth (radius 3960 miles). What is your linear and angular speed?
v =
mph=
rad/hr
(d) An auto tire has radius 12 inches. If you are driving 60 mph, what is the angular speed in rad/sec and the angular speed in RPM?
=
rad/sec=
rpm
