RPM is revolutions per minute. You can not measure distance without knowing the radius or diameter of what that revolves.
With diameter or radius you can calculate the circles outer length. Formulas for this is: With Radius: 2*pi*r, With Diameter: pi*d, where pi is approx 3,14 (accurate enough for most calculations but pi is in fact an endless series of numbers, 3,14159265 and billions more decimals)
This length can be multiplied directly with RPM and you get total distance per minute.
An engine running but standing still will however not move and the calculated answer does not have to indicate actual distance travelled.

How was the length of a meter originally decided?
Originally, the length of a meter was based on the distance between the equator and the south pole. That distance would be 10,000 kilometers. However, the instruments were not all that accurate so it is off by a little bit.
How do you measure 1 acre by using meters?
By using a metric tape measure. For example, if you want to measure off one acre, use your metric tape measure to measure off a square with all four sides 63.615 meters in length.
What are calendars based off of?
Calendars are based off of the solar system and how the Earth revolves around the sun.
How do you measure km?
There are various methods to measure 1 km: To measure 1 km vertically measure the air pressure (using a barometer) at sea level and then go up until the measured air pressure drops so that given the temperature, the pressure is that which is expected at a height of 1 km. To measure 1 km along the ground use a tape measure/rule shorter than 1 km to measure the km out in sections measuring the next length from the end of the previous measured length, eg if you have a 1m rule measure the 1m one thousand times. Using a measuring wheel - surveyors use a wheel which is 1 metre round its circumference - which counts the number of revolutions: measure the required number of revolutions. (A car mileometer uses a similar system counting the number of revolutions of the drive shaft from the gearbox to the wheels and is usually set up to over estimate the speed of the vehicle - they are about 10% accurate - but note as the tyres wear down, it will over estimate slightly more as the circumference of the wheels shrinks) To measure 1 km from a point, measure off a distance, say 10 m (the longer the better), perpendicular to the direction wanted and then measure an angle from the end of the distance based on the length of the distance measured (eg for 10m, the angle required is arc tan(1km/10m) = arc tan(1000m/10m) = arc tan(100) ≈ 89.4°
What number was the decimal system based off of?
10
The difference between radian measure and degree measure?
Degree measure is based off of a division of 360 degrees in a circle. Radian measure is based off of a division of 2PI in a full circle.
How can you measure electric motor RPM without a strobe?
Two methods, one uses a dial that is held in the center of the revolving shaft and is directly read off of the dial face. The second method uses a strobe light. The light is focused on the shaft and the dial on the strobe is turned until it looks like the shaft has come to a stand still. The RPM is read off of the meter face of the strobe light.
What are the decibels for planes at take off?
That depends how close you measure to the plane. The closer - the louder! The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter.
What RPM does the 1999 Lexus Rx300 shift into third gear with overdrive off?
3000 RPM
What is the angles and distance?
There are a number of different angles and distances. The angles and distances are particular to the subjects that they are based off of.
How do you measure the stroke of an engine?
The stroke is simply the distance that the piston can travel up & down in the cylinder. If you have the cylinder head off, or access to the crank it's quite easy to measure.
88 rx-7 low RPM?
take off black cap at very top off engine on throttle boby.turn left to raise rpm.
Why on a 2001 Honda Civic will the battery indicator light come on when the engine is at less than 1500 rpm and go off when the engine revs to 3000 rpm and stay off until the rpm's go below 2000 rpm?
Mine did the same thing and shortly after my alternator had gone.
What is a high rpm or a low rpm?
Say when you pull up to stop light or sign and take off, engine boggs dwon until RPM's rev?
Where is signal for hi RPM gauge for Lancer Ralliart 2004?
The signal for the RPM is given off the ignition module
Why would a 95 Accord idles at 0 RPM shuts off and will not let you accelerate What could be causing this problem?
cause if its idling at zero rpm the motor is off ...
What would cause your 99 suburban to idle rough and studder only at low RPM?
it only studders at low rpm it runs great at high rpm or accelerating only at idle and take off rpm
