The diameter of a ceiling fan, blade tip to blade tip, is 120 centimeters.

a) about how many whole revolutions does it take for the fan to move 1000 meters?
_______

b) if the fan rotates at 40 revolutions per minute, about how long does it take to move 1000 meters? round to the nearest minute.
_______

Respuesta :

The number of whole revolutions for 1000 meters is 265, while the time taken to move 1000 meters with a speed of 40rev/min is 7minutes.

What is a revolution?

This is the number of times a body moves round  a circular path.

A revolution is equal to the circumference of a circle.

Analysis:

r  = 120/2 = 60cm

1 revolution of a circle = 2Ï€r

Let n be the number of revolutions

so that 2Ï€r x n = 1000 x 100 since 100 cm = 1 m

n = 100000/2Ï€r = 265 revolutions

If the Fan turns 40 rev / minute

Then it 265 revolutions = 1000 meters, 265/40 = 7 minutes

In conclusion, the number of revolutions for 1000 meters is 265 and the time taken for 265 revolutions is 7 minutes.
