A race car is driven around a circular track at a constant speed of 180 miles per hour. If the diameter of the track is 1/2 mile, what is the angular speed of the car? Express your answer in revolutions per hour (which is equivalent to laps per hour)

Verified Answer :

f the diameter is 1/2 mile, that is 0.5 mile, then the radius is 0.25 -half of it!

the angular speed is theta/time, which means

 w=theta/time

but another formula for it is Velocityradians

w=velocityradians

velocity is 180 mph and radians are (revolution/2 radius), that is:

w=180(1/20.25)
and if we calculate this, we have: w=114.59, which is the correct answer!
