A water wheel has a radius of 18 feet. the wheel is rotating at 5 revolutions per minute. find the linear speed, in feet per min
1 answer:
Answer:
The linear speed is
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the circumference of the circle
The circumference is equal to
we have
substitute
step 2
Find the linear speed in feet per minute
we know that
The wheel is rotating at 10 revolutions per minute
Convert revolutions to feet
Remember that
One revolution is equal to the circumference of the circle
so
10 revolutions is equal to
therefore
The linear speed is

I enter the equation into a graphing calculator and let it do the graphing.
___
If you're graphing this by hand, you start by looking for the parent function. Here, it is |x|. That has a vertex of (0, 0) and a slope of +1 to the right of the vertex and a slope of -1 to the left of the vertex.
Here, the function is multiplied by -3/2, so will open downward and have slopes of magnitude 3/2 (not 1). The graph has been translated 5 units upward, so the vertex is (0, 5).
I'd start by plotting the vertex point at (0, 5), then identifying points with slope ±3/2 either side of it. To the left, it is left 2 and down 3 to (-2, 2). The points on the right of the vertex are symmetrically located about the y-axis, so one of them will be (2, 2).
Of course, you don't plot any function values for x > 4.

Step-by-step explanation:
The original questions is suppose an ant walks counterclockwise on a unit circle from the point (1,0) to the endpoint of the radius that forms an angle of 240 degrees with the positive horizontal axis.
To find the distance ant walked we find the arc length of the sector with central angle 240 degree and radius =1 (unit circle)
arc length of a sector =
arc length of a sector =
arc length of a sector =
