Capitolo 2, Problema 123

Solve each problem. See Example 6. Revolutions of a Turntable A turntable in a shop makes 45 revolutions per min. How many revolutions does it make per second?

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the given information: the turntable makes 45 revolutions per minute (rpm).
Recall the conversion factor between minutes and seconds: 1 minute = 60 seconds.
Set up the conversion to find revolutions per second by dividing the revolutions per minute by the number of seconds in a minute: \(\text{revolutions per second} = \frac{45}{60}\).
Simplify the fraction to express the revolutions per second in simplest form.
Interpret the result as the number of revolutions the turntable makes in one second.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Unit Conversion between Minutes and Seconds

Understanding how to convert time units is essential. Since 1 minute equals 60 seconds, converting revolutions per minute (rpm) to revolutions per second (rps) involves dividing the number of revolutions by 60.
