A wheel of radius 6 inches is rotating at 0.5 space radians per second. What is the linear speed v in inches per second (in/s)?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Not sure how a "space" radian differs from a regular radian. I'll just assume the wheel is rotating at 0.5 rad/s without slipping and you want the translation speed of the axel.

v = ωR

v = 0.5(6)

v = 3 in/s
