Answer:

The initial angular velocity of the wheel can be calculated by taking the circumference of the wheel, dividing it by the amount of time it takes for the wheel to make 300 revolutions (10 seconds), and then converting the result to revolutions per minute (RPM). The circumference of a wheel with a diameter of 150mm is 471.24mm. Therefore, the initial angular velocity of the wheel is 6.29 RPM (471.24/10*60 = 6.29 RPM).
