Suppose a bike wheel has a radius of 27 inches if the bike is rolling at 10 miles per hour through what angle does spoke turn in 1 minute?
10*1760*36 = 633600 inches in 60 minutes 10560 inches in 1 minute Circumference of bike wheel = 2*pi*27 = 169.6460033 inches 10560/169.6460033 = 62.24726663 revolutions of bike wheel in 1 minute 62.24726663*360 degrees = 22409.01599 degrees in 1 minute Therefore the bike's wheel spoke has turned through an angle of 22409 degrees in I minute, correct to 5 significant figures.
What is the purpose of a bike with 24 inch wheels?
More than one type of bike can have 24" wheels. Some DH MTBs(downhill mountainbikes will have that, and some trials bikes. It can also be the last size available as a kid's bike. It can even be a compromise for someone who wants a folding bike with decent ride characteristics.
How far will a bike travel if the wheels go around exactly once?
Impossible to say, as it depends on the size of the wheel. To find out, calculate the circumference of the Wheels.
How many spokes are on a 26 inch bike wheel?
This completely depends on the wheel. The most common number of spokes per wheel is 36. Some better wheels have 32. Higher performance wheels have even less.
How do you calculate distance and revolutions?
You must buy a bicycle computer and attach it to your bike. They can calculate various things- speed, distance, RPM, time, tempertature, altitude, speed increase or decrease
What is rpm in a bike?
Revolutions per minute of the rear wheel
What does cadence mean in bike terms?
Cadence is the revolutions pedaled per minute while on a bicycle.
If initials rpm were on an exercise bike For what do these initials stand?
Revolutions per minute. It may be the rate at which a pedal turns a full rotation per minute.
What is cadence in bike terms?
Cadence: The rate of pedaling, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm) of one foot.
What is the difference between a bike that is designed for spinning as opposed to a bike that looks similar (tall) but is not made for spinning?
Bicycles designed for spinning have large flywheels with mulitple levels of resistance. The flywheel spins the pedals at 85-95 revolutions per minute as opposed to a rideable bike pedal's 40-60 revolutions per minute. The spinning bike makes less of an impact on your knee joints, too.
Are dirt bike wheels the same size?
There are different sizes for dirt bike wheels as there are for regular bike wheels.
Suppose a bike wheel has a radius of 27 inches if the bike is rolling at 10 miles per hour through what angle does spoke turn in 1 minute?

What is the term cycle?
Cadence is the rate at which you pedal the bike, i.e. the RPM(revolutions per minute) of the crank. If your right foot passes through the lowest point of the stroke 90 times during a minute then your cadence is 90.
What are the bikes with thin wheels called?
Thin wheels alone isn't enough to identify the bike type. Can be a road bike, bike, a track bike, a TT bike. Even fixies and single-speeds can have thin wheels.
Where on the bike is a wheel and axle?
The wheels are the big round things on which the bike moves and the axles are at the center of the wheels, attaching them to the bike.
How far does a bike racer travel in 5 min if the wheels are turning at a speed of 3 revolutions per second?
Depends on the diameter of the wheels. Formula should be (5 min)*(60 sec/min)*(3 rev/sec)*(? meters/rev) Where ? meters would be the circumference of the wheels which is pi*diameter
How can you put a BMX bike on a trampoline?
Change the wheels with specil ski wheels i think its called ski bike.
