560 rpm The car is not revolving. If you want to know the engine rpm you would need to know the ratio of the differential (final drive) and the ratio of the gear that you are in. If you are asking for the number of revolutions per minute for the tire, you would calculate it as follows. Tire circumference is: 3.141 x 2.5 ft = 7.85 ft A revolution of the wheel would be 7.85 ft/rev so the reciprocal gives: a revolution is 0.1274 rev/ft. 50 mi/hr x 0.01667 hr/min x 5280 ft/mi = 4400 feet/min 0.1274 rev/ft x 4400 ft/min = 561 rev/min (or rpm) Note: Previously, the answer was rounded to 3 significant digits. If you consider that 50 mph is precise to the units place you can really only support two significant digits in the final answer so it needs to be rounded to 560 rpm.

If a wheel is 2 feet in diameter and does 10000 revolutions per hour how fast is it going?

A wheel 2 feet in diameter turning 10000 revolutions per hour is going, at the rim, 17.45 feet per second, or 25.6 miles per hour.


How do you convert revolutions per minute to degree?

to convert revolutions per minute into the measure of degrees traveled, you would need to know for how long those revolutions were going on. revolutions per minute multiplied by the time it was turning gives you the degrees traveled. just like speed * time gives you distance, rotational speed * time gives you rotated distance


How fast are your tires going when your car is going 55?

Well if your car is moving at 55 mph, i would be surprised if your tyres aren't. The tire rpm (revolutions per minute) would depend on the tire size.


Why does the RPM stay above zero when your vehicle is in park?

RPM tells you how many revolutions per minute your engine is running. When you're in park, the engine is still going, so RPM's will be above zero.


What has the greater uncertainty the diameter or the radius?

The diameter is always going to be twice the radius. The radius is always going to be half the diameter.


How many revulsions does a tire 275 80R22.5 make in one minute?

It is unknown how many revolutions a 275/80R 22/ 22.5 tire makes in one minute. It all depends on who is driving and how far they go. This answer is wrong! If this tire is going say 60 mph their must be some mathematical way to figure this question out


If your going 38mph how many feet per minute are you going?

How fast are you going if you go 1 mile in 50 seconds?

well, if you were going 1 mile in 60 sec. you would be going 1 mile per minute. or, in this case, you would be going 5/6 of a mile per minute. (MPM, or miles per minute.)


How many miles in a minute?

AnswerDepends on how fast you are going. for example, if you are going 60 miles/hr then in 1 minute there is 1 mile. now if you are going 30 miles/hr then in a minute there is 1/2 miles.
