Question

A car’s wheels spin at 1000 revolutions per minute. The diameter of the wheels is 23 inches. You want to know how fast the car is travelling.
A:Circumference
B:Area

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed = 72,285 in/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total revolution per min = 1,000

Diameter = 23 in

Radius = 23/2 in

Time = 1 min

Find:

Speed

Computation:

Total distance = 2πr(1000)

Speed = Distance / time

Speed = 2πr(1000) / 1

Speed = 2π(23/2)(1000) / 1

Speed = 72,285 in/min
