What is the relationship between rotational speed and linear speed?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
(linear speed) = (rotational speed) x (radius or distance from the center)
To use consistent measures, use radians/second for rotational speed, meters for the radius, and meters/second for the linear speed. If you know rotational speed in some other unit - for example, rpm (rotations per minute) - convert to radians per second first.

At a given rotational speed how does linear speed change its distance from the axis changes?
In The Center Of The Rotating Platform Right At Its Axis You Have No Linear Speed At All, But You Do Have Rotational Speed. Your Rotational Speed would Stay The Same But As You Move Away From The Center Your Linear Speed Gets Faster And Faster. If You Move Twice As Much From The Center Your Linear (Tangential) Speed Would Also Be Twice as Much
Which has greater rotational speed the shoulders or the fingertips of a figure skater spinning with her arms held straight out?
Rotational speed (degrees per sec) is the same, linear speed is greater at the finger tips.
How do you measure instantaneous velocity?
You can transform linear velocity into rotational velocity with a rolling wheel. Rotational velocity can be measured inside a gravity field because of generated centrifugal force. When you suspend your arms freely while rotating, the angle between your body and your arm is a measure for the rotational speed.
What type of relationship exists between time and wind speed?
What type of relationship exists between time and wind speed?
Is there any relationship between speed and height?
Yes , there is a relationship between height and speed . Which is that to get fast we need to be tall . Height isn't anything weight can slow you down so speed also consists of height that is the relationship between speed and height

How does linear speed change as rotational speed changes?
At any distance from the axis of rotation, the linear speed of an object is directly proportional to the rotational speed. If the linear speed increases, the rotational speed also increases.

What has a variation in the relationship between two variable quantities with a constant ratio?
The relationship is a linear one. For example when driving at a constant speed, the relationship between distance driven and the time driven is linear with a constant ratio (of the constant speed).
Relationship between tangential speed and distance from the center of r?
tangential speed is directly proportional to rotational speed at nay fixed distance from the axis of rotation
Which has greater rotational speed the shoulders or the fingertips of a figure skater spinning with her arms held straight out?
Rotational speed (degrees per sec) is the same, linear speed is greater at the finger tips.
Which part of earth's surface has the greatest rotational speed about Earth's axis. Which part has the greatest linear speed relative to Earth's axis?
In the case of a solid rotating object, the rotational speed is the same for all parts. The linear speed is greatest at points that are furthest from the axis of rotation - in other words, at the equator.
How does rotational speed cange as an object moves away from the axis?
The rotational Speed or angular velocity of an object does not change even if they move away from the axis, however its linear velocity changes.
Is distance traveled and rate of speed non linear?
No, there is a linear relationship.
How do you measure instantaneous velocity?
You can transform linear velocity into rotational velocity with a rolling wheel. Rotational velocity can be measured inside a gravity field because of generated centrifugal force. When you suspend your arms freely while rotating, the angle between your body and your arm is a measure for the rotational speed.
What is 1 meter per second in rpm?
Linear speed cannot be converted to rotational speed without knowledge about the distance from the axis of rotation.
How are radius and speed related?
Usually they aren't. But you may want to give more details about the specific situation you were thinking about. In the case of rotational movement, the linear speed (in meters/second) is equal to the rotational speed (in radians/second) times the radius (in meters).
