    Physics question regarding angular speed
    Here's the question-please show your work, thank you.

    A Wheel is rolling without slipping at 487 meters per second to the right on a level surface. The diameter of the wheel is 100 centimeters. What is the angular speed of the wheel in revolutions per minute?

    Divide the linear velocity of by the crcumference of the wheel - that will give you revolutions per second. Then multiply by 60 to get RPM.

    By the way - 487m/s is faster than the speed of sound!
