[Math] Can somebody help and explain me with angular and linear Velocity textproblems

algebra-precalculusphysics

So we got this as homework today, and I just don't understand it; how to start or how to do it.
Explanations and/or setups would be great :)

A wheel with radius of $5$ feet is rotating at $100$ rpm.

a) Determine the angular speed of the wheel in radians per minute.

b) Determine the linear speed of a point on the circumference of the
wheel in feet per minute.

Thank you so much.

Best Answer

Hints:

Given a fixed speed, $v$ and radius, $r$, then:

$$v = \omega r, \omega = \frac{v}{r}, \omega = \frac{2 \pi}{time-of-1-revolution}$$

Be careful to watch for units and conversions!
