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°

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 would you measure out your run up?

To measure out your run-up for a jump or field event, start by taking a few strides to determine your natural stride length. Then, mark the start and finish points of your run-up distance based on your stride length, ensuring you have enough distance to build acceleration but also to take off comfortably. You can adjust the run-up distance based on trial and error to find what works best for you.


Can a laser measure device calculate distance?

Yes, a laser measuring device uses laser technology to accurately calculate distances by measuring the time it takes for a laser pulse to bounce off a surface and return to the device. The device then uses this information to calculate the distance based on the speed of light.


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 scientific instrument is used in measuring short vertical distances?

A laser rangefinder is commonly used to measure short vertical distances accurately. It emits a laser beam to measure the time it takes for the beam to reflect off a target and return to the device, calculating the distance based on the speed of 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.

The process of using sound waves underwater to measure distance is called?

The process of using sound waves underwater to measure distance is called sonar, which stands for Sound Navigation and Ranging. Sonar systems emit sound waves that bounce off objects in the water and are then detected to determine the distance to the object.
