Because ice is less dense than liquid water,
its melting point is lowered under high pressures.

A long standing theory says that this is what causes ice to be slippery:

The linear speed of the pepperoni is 0.628 m/s. Its direction is tangential to the circle.

We know that;

v = rω

r = radius of the piece = 10 cm or 0.1 m

ω = angular velocity

We have to convert 60 revolutions per minute to radians per second

1 rev/min = 0.10472 rad/s

60 revolutions per minute = 60 rev/min × 0.10472 rad/s/1 rev/min

= 6.28 rad/s
