Angular Speed and Linear Speed problems

Converting between Angular Speed and Linear Speed example question

The angular speed ω of a point moving in a circle is defined as the quotient θ/t, where θ is the angle in radians through which the point travels in time t.

a) Find the angular speed of a point that moves through an angle of 4 radians in 6 seconds

b) Find the angular speed of a point on the rim of a wheel that travels at 60 rpm (revolutions per minute)

c) Show that the linear speed v of a point moving in a circle is related to the angular speed by the formula v = rω

d) A car is moving at the rate of 60 miles per hour, and the diameter of each wheel is 2.5 feet. Find the angular speed of the wheels.
