The angular velocity of a wheel moving at 5 km/h with a radius of 20.3cm is 65.33454149913602 rpm.
RPM=3×π×20.325×5=0.65334541499

To find the revolutions per minute (RPM) of an object moving at a certain speed, you need to first determine how far it travels in one revolution, which is the circumference of the circle it forms. Then, use this information along with the speed to find the RPM.
Given:
The circumference C of a circle is given by the formula:
C=2πr
Convert the radius from centimeters to kilometers to keep the units consistent:
Now, calculate the circumference:
C=2π×0.000203
C≈0.00127548661km
Convert 5 km/h to kilometers per minute:
5 km/h=605 km/min
≈0.0833 km/min
To find the RPM, divide the speed in km/min by the circumference in km:
RPM=0.00127548661 km0.0833 km/min
RPM≈65.33
Therefore, the RPM is approximately 65.33.
