Meter per second squared to rotations per minute?

Answer 1

Lots of problems with this question.

-- "Per second squared" is an acceleration ... speed growing steadily ... whereas

"per minute" is one constant speed. So we can tell right away that we're going to

have trouble trying to relate these things.

-- "Meter per second" is a speed along the ground, whereas we're not sure just what

"rotations per minute" is talking about. Is it the wheel on a car or a bicycle ? Is it the

drum in a clothes dryer, or maybe the second-hand on a clock ? Whatever it is that's

rotating, how does that relate to speed along the ground ?

-- Best case, maybe the question is trying to ask how the rotations of the wheels on

the car are related to the car's speed down the highway. That's just a wild guess,

but even if it's correct, we still can't do it. It ought to be pretty obvious that it depends

on how big the wheel is. If you roll a 3-foot wheel along the ground once a second,

it's going to move down the street a lot faster than if the wheels on your skateboard

are turning once a second.

So, long story short ... the question doesn't make sense, and if it did, there's not

enough information in it to drag an answer out of.
