Answer:

72,220 inches per minute

Explanation:

A car's wheels spins at 1000 revolutions per minute. The diameter of the wheels is 23 inches.

1 revolution =
2\pi radians


(theta)/(tome)=(1000 \ revolution)/(1 \ minuite) = (1000* 2\pi )/(1) =(2000\pi)/(1 \ minute)

Speed
V= (r*theta)/(t)

r is the radius , theta is the angle and t is the time

We know diameter = 23 , then radius = 23/2

Speed
V= (23)/(2)*(2000\pi)/(1)

Value of pi = 3.14

speed = 23000* 3.14= 72220 inches/ minute
