To convert revolutions per minute (rpm) to meters per second, you need to consider the circumference of the rotating object. First, calculate the distance traveled in one revolution by multiplying the circumference of the object by the number of revolutions per minute. Then, convert the result to meters per second by dividing by 60 (to convert minutes to seconds). The formula is: speed (m/s) = (rpm * 2πr) / 60, where r is the radius of the rotating object.

To convert rpm to meters per second, you can use the formula: speed (m/s) = (rpm * 2π * radius) / 60. First, calculate the angular speed by multiplying rpm by 2π, then multiply by the radius in meters, and divide by 60 to convert to meters per second.

You have to know how far the measurement point is from the center of the rotation.

The farther out it is, the more meters per second it will cover.

(At the same RPM, a 10-ft tractor tire covers more meters per second than a skate-board wheel does.)

When you know the 'radius' of the wheel in meters,

the speed of a point on the rim is

(Radius) times (pi/30) times (RPM) = (Radius) times (0.1047) times (RPM) meters per second. (rounded)
