1760 yards = 1 mile. 60 minutes = 1 hour. 36 inches = 1 yard.

50*1760 divided by 60 = 1466 yards 2 feet in one minute

Circumference of wheel = pi*36 = 113.0973355 inches

113.0973355/36 = 3.141592654 yards

1466.666666/3.14192654 = 466.8048878 revolutions in one minute

So the wheel makes 466 full revolutions in one minute.

How many revolutions per minute are the wheels of a bicycle turning if the diameter is 26 inches and you are traveling at a speed of 35 miles per hour?

Bicycle wheels with a diameter of 26 inches, travelling 35 miles per hour, are turning 452 revolutions per minute. 35 miles per hour is 36,960 inches per minute (25 *5280 * 12 / 60) 26 inches diameter is 81.7 inches circumference, so the revolutions per minute is 36,960 / 81.7 or 452 revolutions per minute.

How many revolutions per minute are the wheels of a bicycle turning if the diameter is 26 inches and you are traveling at a speed of 10 miles per hour How many r?

To solve, you need how far is travelled in 1 minute and the circumference of the wheel (in the same units) which gives how far the wheel travels in one revolution; then dividing the former by the latter will give the revolutions per minute: I'll work in inches: There are 63360 inches in 1 mile and 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus: 10mph = 10 x 63360 ÷ 60 inches per minute = 10560 ipm circumference = π x diameter = 26π inches ⇒ revolutions per minute = 10560 ipm ÷ 26π ins ~= 129.3 rpm

What is rpm in a vehicle?

It stands for Revolutions Per Minute - it refers to the speed of the engine.


Surface speed of an eight inch diameter wheel at 2000 revolutions per minute?

The circumference of an 8-inch diameter wheel = d*pi = 8*pi. Each revolution will advance the wheel by one circumference, so 2000 revolutions per minute would be 2000 * 8 * pi = 1600pi feet per minute.


What does rpm mean to automotive?

RPM (Revolutions Per Minute), generally associated with the rotation of the crankshaft in a vehicle.

A 12 inch grinding wheel has a surface speed of a mile a minute. What is its revolutions per minute?

A wheel with a diameter of 12 inches will have an angular speed of 560.2 revs per minute.


A vehicle has wheels which are 3.20 feet in diameter.If the vehicle travels on these wheels at a constant rate of 60 mph then how many revolutions does one wheel make in one minute?

Diameter = 3.2 ft. Circumference = 3.2 ft * pi = 10.05 ft. 1 min * 60 mph = 1 mile 1 mile = 5280 ft. # of revolutions = Distance traveled / Wheel Circumference


What affects RPMs?

Friction affects the RPM of a vehicle. Frictional losses in the engine result in a restriction in revolutions per minute.
