Final answer:
The angular speed of the tires in radians per minute is 32π radians/minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the angular speed of the tires in radians per minute, we need to convert the number of revolutions per minute to radians per minute. Since one revolution is equivalent to 2π radians, we can multiply the number of revolutions by 2π to get the angular speed.
Given that the tires are rotating at a rate of 16 revolutions per minute, the angular speed in radians per minute is:
angular speed = 16 revolutions/minute * 2π radians/revolution = 32π radians/minute
